King Abdullah II of Jordan described the latest war on the Gaza Strip as a ‘reality check’ for everyone in terms of what could happen if "Palestinians lost hope." He added, "There were no victors" in the last Gaza war. 

The King of Jordan said, in a CNN interview, "The next war is going to be even more damaging." The king also said, "We really have to get people back to the table, under the umbrella of how to get Israelis and Palestinians to talk." He added that in his view, the two-state solution is the only solution.

Apropos the talks between him and US President Joe Biden, Abdullah II said: "I mentioned Syria, but also when we look at Lebanon - the crisis there - the people are suffering, starvation is just around the corner, the hospitals are not working."

The king noted in the interview that he met with occupation Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and Security Minister Benny Gantz, confirming what Israeli reports mentioned regarding this meeting at the beginning of this month.

"I came out of those meetings feeling very encouraged, and I think we have seen in the past couple of weeks, not only a better understanding between Israel and Jordan, but [also] the voices coming out of both Israel and Palestine that we need to move forward and reset that relationship," he said.

Jordan's King also talked about the internal situation in Jordan, saying, "And we have had to look at many characters that tend to use people’s frustrations and legitimate concerns of challenges that they have in making their lives better, to really push on their own agendas and ambitions. What I think made this so sad that one of the people was my brother, who did it in such an amateurish and really disappointing way."

"From our point, the intelligence services, as they always do, gather information, and they got to a point where they had legitimate concerns that certain individuals were trying to push my brother’s ambitions for their own agendas, and decided, quite rightly, to nip it in the bud, and quietly," he added.
