Jordan's PM reaffirms kingdom's stance on two-state solution

Jordan's Prime Minister Omar Razzaz on Sunday reaffirmed the country's rejection of any unilateral measures aimed at changing the status quo in the occupied Palestinian territories.

Reiterating Jordan's constant position towards the Palestinian cause, he highlighted the importance of strengthening Jordan's political, economic and social stature, the state-run Petra news agency reported.

Also on Sunday, the parliament speaker Atef Tarawneh warned against infringements of Palestinians' legitimate rights, adding the region will not witness peace as long as there is hatred and occupation.

Referring to the so-called "Deal of the Century," which U.S. President Donald Trump is expected to announce in the next few days, Tarawneh reiterated support for King Abdullah II's position on the issue.

Jordan, he said, adheres to the two-state solution, which aims at regional stability through implementing international legitimacy resolutions.
