Jordan's King Abdullah II on Tuesday warned of a plot against the Palestinian people, their future and right to establish an independent state behind Israel's offensive on Gaza.
The king made the remarks to Al Jazeera channel after meeting with a visiting delegation of the World Federation of Muslim Scholars headed by Sheikh Yusuf al Qaradawi.
"I see a conspiracy against the Palestinian people and the future of Palestine," said the king, adding that Jordan is concerned and upset, and fears about what will happen after the Israeli Gaza offensive.
"We must be aware of the conspiracy, and along with Arab and other states we will stop the Israeli agenda quickly," Abdullah said.
The king affirmed that he is working with the Arab and Western countries to stop the aggression on Gaza immediately.
"We, as Arab and in cooperation with some Western countries are exerting our utmost efforts and we pressure on the Israeli government and Israeli army to stop the aggression immediately," Abdullah said.
According to the royal Hashemite court, the king said when meeting al Qaradawi that Jordan will continue to exert its utmost effort to stop the Israeli aggression, provide medical and humanitarian support for Palestinians and foil any plot targeting their right to establish their independent state.
More than 600 Palestinians have been killed and 2,700 others injured since Israel launched airstrikes on the Gaza Strip on Dec.27 and a ground assault a week later.
