At White House, King Abdullah attacks '70 years of Israeli occupation'

Jordan’s King Abdullah warned against the danger of “seven decades of occupation” as he called for a two-state resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during a press conference with US President Joe Biden at the White House.

“Seven decades of occupation, death, and destruction have proven beyond any doubt that there can be no peace without a political horizon,” said the monarch.

Abdullah has been a strong proponent of a two-state solution at the pre-1967 lines, with east Jerusalem as the capital of the Palestinian one.
