AMMAN — Jordan's King Abdullah II on Wednesday hailed a unity accord between Fatah and Hamas movements, offering his country's support for the creation of a Palestinian state.
"The king welcomed the reconciliation agreement, which should end division and unite the Palestinian people," the state-run Petra news agency quoted the monarch as telling a Palestinian delegation from the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
"Jordan will always support the Palestinians politically and economically, particularly in the coming stage, until an independent Palestinian state is created on Palestinian land."
Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas and Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal buried the hatchet at a Cairo ceremony on Wednesday, ending a nearly four-year feud between the administrations in the West Bank and Gaza, and restoring the unity shattered by deadly infighting in June 2007.
