Amman, Sep 12 (SocialNews.XYZ) The Jordan government has said that ending the Israeli occupation and resolving the Palestinian conflict based on the two-state solution were key to peace in the Middle East.
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi made the remarks after the normalization of ties between Israel and Bahrain was announced on Friday, reports Xinhua news agency.
Safadi said that what is required to realize peace in the region is ending the Israeli occupation and stopping all measures that undermine the two-state solution.
Creating an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital under the borders of 1967 remains the key for peace and ending the conflict in line with the Arab Peace Initiative and the international resolutions, said Safadi.
"The effect of such deals relies on Israel's actions," Safadi said, warning that Israeli measures that undermine peace opportunities and proceed with settlement activities will only exacerbate the situation and deepen the conflict.
Jordan, he said, will continue to work with the allies and Arab and non-Arab countries to realize peace, which is a strategic option for Jordan, Palestine and the Arabs.
Jordan signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1994.
Friday's development made Bahrain the fourth Arab nation after Egypt, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates to establish diplomatic ties with Israel.
Bahrain King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump agreed to the establishment of full diplomatic relations between the two countries in a joint statement.
The deal is expected to normalize diplomatic, commercial, security and other relations between Israel and Bahrain.
