BERLIN (Reuters) – Jordan’s King Abdullah said on Tuesday he did not expect the war in Ukraine to affect attempts to resolve the decades old Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“Whatever is going on in Ukraine I don’t think affects the vision of leadership in our part of the world to try to move it forwards,” Abdullah told a joint news conference in Berlin with Chancellor Olaf Scholz.
Abdullah hosted Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid for talks last Thursday about coordinating ways of securing calm in Jerusalem, a frequent flashpoint of Palestinian protests, officials on both sides said.
