Moments ago, King Abdullah of Jordan asserted that his country will "continue to undertake its duty in dispatching humanitarian aid to the Palestinians through any means available."
During his speech at the extraordinary Arab-Islamic Summit in Riyadh, King Abdullah called for making the latest UNGA decision on Gaza as a stone for building an alliance to stop the war and the forced displacement of the Palestinians.
He said: "This decision must be our first step to work collectively to build a political alliance to first stop the war and the displacement immediately and to launch a serious peace process in the Middle East, without allowing its hindrance under any circumstances. The alternative would be further extremism, hatred, and tragedies."
He added: "This injustice did not begin a month ago. It is a continuation of over seven decades dominated by a fortress mentality of separation walls and violations against holy sites and rights, the majority of whose victims are innocent civilians."
"It is the same mentality that seeks to turn Gaza into an unliveable place. It targets mosques, churches, and hospitals; it kills doctors, paramedics, and relief workers; even children, the elderly, and women."
The king also underscored that the current crisis in Gaza reflects "the international community’s failure" to grant Palestinians justice and their rights to establish their independent state on the 4 June 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
