King Abdullah II of Jordan, speaking at the first Al-Monitor-Semafor Global Summit Sept. 20, said that the possibility of normalization between Israel and Saudi Arabia could offer a “new horizon” for the region, but “part of the challenge is with the Israeli government.”
“This belief, by some in the region, that you can parachute over Palestine, deal with the Arabs and work your way back — that does not work,” said King Abdullah, who was the keynote speaker at the summit. “And even those countries that have Abraham Accords with Israel have difficulty moving publicly on those issues when Israelis and Palestinians are dying. So unless we solve this problem, there will never be a true peace.”
"“There are two elephants in the room,” the Jordanian king explained.
“One is the Palestinian transition and the future for the younger generation of leaders."
"The other, the second elephant in the room, is where is Israel going? How can we have an understanding of a political horizon? Is it a one-state solution that you want? Is it a two-state solution? And I'm sure your state solution is different than mine.”
