AMMAN, May 11 (Xinhua) -- Jordanian Prime Minister Jaafar Hassan reiterated here on Sunday that preventing the displacement of Palestinians from their land remains a top national priority for the Kingdom.
Speaking during a meeting with Hussein al-Sheikh, deputy chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization and Palestinian vice president, Hassan emphasized Jordan's unwavering commitment to supporting the Palestinian people in securing their legitimate rights.
Chief among these, he said, is the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the pre-1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital -- in line with international resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative, according to the state-run Petra news agency.
Hassan also highlighted the ongoing political and diplomatic efforts led by King Abdullah II to end the war in Gaza, facilitate the immediate and sustained flow of humanitarian aid, and halt Israeli violations in the occupied West Bank.
Al-Sheikh praised Jordan's consistent support for the Palestinian cause and expressed the gratitude of the Palestinian leadership and people for the Kingdom's efforts to end the Israeli war on Gaza and its leading role in delivering aid to the Strip.
He underscored the urgent need for intensified international pressure to ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance to Gaza, where conditions remain catastrophic. ■
