King Abdullah II of Jordan and Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev urged intensified efforts Monday to jump-start peace talks to end the decade-long Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The two leaders said resolving the conflict should be in line with the two-state solution that envisages the creation of an independent Palestinian state that lives side by side with Israel, Jordan's official Petra news agency reported.
Adopted by Arab countries in Beirut in 2002, the peace plan entails offering full normal ties between the Arab countries and Israel in return for the latter's withdrawal from Arab territories it occupied in 1967.
At a meeting on Monday, the Jordanian leader warned against the repercussions of unilateral Israeli measures in Jerusalem on efforts to achieve Middle East peace.
The king emphasized that Jordan rejects any attempts that threaten the Islamic and Christian sites in Jerusalem and seek to change the identity of the city.
The Azerbaijani leader arrived in Amman Monday on a two-day visit to the kingdom, during which officials from both countries will discuss means to bolster bilateral relations.
