Jordan's King Abdullah II Accuses Israel of Trying to Displace Palestinians at UN
Speaking at the UN General Assembly in New York, Jordan's King Abdullah II accused Israel of attempting to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state. He stated that this is being achieved through destruction in Gaza and the de facto annexation of territories in Judea and Samaria. The King asserted that attacks against Palestinians in Judea and Samaria are not isolated incidents but part of a policy to expel Palestinians from their land.
King Abdullah II also criticized the international community for prioritizing "managing" the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over seeking a resolution for many years. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also spoke out against Israel, criticizing the UN's failure to maintain peace and reiterating calls for Security Council reform. Erdogan urged other nations to increase international pressure on Israel regarding the Gaza situation.
The Turkish president expressed regret over the absence of Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas from the session and called on countries that have not yet recognized a Palestinian state to reconsider their positions.
