U.S. Ambassador: Terrorist groups failed to intimidate Jordan
AMMONNEWS - United States Ambassador to Jordan, Alice G. Wells, on Tuesday, said the terrorist Da'esh group failed to intimidate Jordan and that Jordanians recognize that Da’esh and other extremists pose a threat to their peaceful, moderate way of life.
'The Jordanian people are demonstrating both resilience and determination not to allow extremists to call into question Jordan’s open, moderate, and modernizing way of life Determination to choose their own future, rather than allow extremists to choose it for them,' Wells said in a lecture at the World Affairs Council.
She stressed that the region works when a country like Jordan prospers and modernizes. 'While the road ahead to defeat Da’esh, and accomplish our other vital regional security objectives, will be neither easy nor short, I am optimistic that we will prevail, in no small part because of the ability of the Jordanian people and its leadership to take up this challenge,' the ambassador asserted.
Wells hailed Jordan as a pursuer of peace, led by the Hashemite custodians of Jerusalem’s Muslim and Christian holy places, Jordanians have never turned away from their commitment to a just and lasting peace between Israelis and Palestinians living side by side.
Speaking on the Palestinian issue, the ambassador said His Majesty King Abdullah has battled constantly for a fair and dignified resolution of this conflict and we agree that a two-state solution is the only path to peace.
