Report: King Abdullah, Netanyahu meet in Jordan

Published Sunday 03/03/2013 (updated) 05/03/2013 20:43

BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- Jordan's King Abdullah II met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jordan last week to discuss the Middle East peace process, AFP reported Saturday.

A diplomatic source said that Netanyahu traveled to Jordan to meet the King, with both officials discussing the peace process.

The last Israeli-Palestinian peace talks collapsed in 2010 after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu refused to extend a 10-month partial settlement construction freeze.

In September, UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said that the two-state solution was the only sustainable option for peace. But he said the continued growth of Israeli settlements meant that "the door may be closing, for good."

US President Barack Obama is due to arrive in the region next month on an official visit, but Secretary of State John Kerry said last week that Obama will not bring a peace plan for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Obama, who has a testy relationship with right-wing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, made peace between Israelis and Palestinians a priority in his first term but, four years later, has little to show for it.

If King Abullah II knows jolly well that Nutt-anyahu is not for peace then why have a secret meeting with this idiot in his own country. We all know that Nutt-anyahu will do every publicity stunt to prove that he is the man for peace. But yet his actions on the ground prove otherwise. I am disappointed that the King has secret meetings with this Nutter who doesn't want peace.

LOL! THEN,Israel will come after Jordan later,FOR ALL JRV&East Bank!

1- Honestly, the PA government will likely continue refusing to negotiate, in good faith, even if it gets a partial or the demanded total freeze, and 2- Honestly, "The last Israeli-Palestinian peace talks collapsed," because the PA government refused to negotiate: -a- after the last Gaza invasion, previous to which they had been negotiating without a "partial settlement construction freeze, and even -b- during the first 9 months, of the "10-month partial settlement freeze" !!

IF "LOCAL PALESTINIANS LEAD THE REVOLUTION" against the King, it will cause A RE-ENACTMENT OF A BLACK-SEPTEMBER-LIKE MASSACRE, where almost 20,000 Palestinians, and only 80 Jordanians, were killed.
