Ammon News - The Lower House Palestine Committee said Jordan, under His Majesty King Abdullah II's leadership, is committed to defending the Palestinian cause and Jerusalem's Islamic and Christian sanctities.

The committee added that the King exerts efforts at international forums to ensure a just solution to the Palestinian cause.

In a press statement on Sunday, the committee noted the King's "bold" stances towards the Palestinian cause at the Jeddah Security and Development Summit show Palestine as a firm Jordanian priority, which reflects the Kingdom's conrinued support for the Palestinian people.

His Majesty's stances on the Palestinian cause, defending Jerusalem and its Islamic and Christian sanctities, and protecting the existing legal and historical status quo are respected, appreciated and understood by the international community, according to the statement.

On role of Jordan's diplomacy, the lawmakers said Royal efforts contributed to restoring momentum to the Palestinian cause as it is the Kingdom's "top" central issue.

The committee also commended the "pivotal and important" role of Hashemite custodianship over Islamic and Christian holy sites, which is the "safety valve for the holy sites that preserved Jerusalem's Arab identity".
