King of Jordan Discusses Regional Affairs with White House Coordinator

Jordanian King Abdullah II emphasized the necessity of intensifying efforts to achieve a just and comprehensive peace between Palestinians and Israelis based on the two-state solution, which guarantees the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the lines of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital. This came during his meeting with U.S. Deputy Assistant to the President and White House Coordinator for the Middle East and North Africa Brett McGurk. Recent developments in both regional and international arenas were reviewed, with a focus on the Palestinian issue.
