Jordan stands by two-state Israel-Palestinian solution
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Jordan on Wednesday stood by a two-state solution to the Israeli-Paleostinian conflict, exposing a rift with the United States as the Trump administration tries to rally Arab support for a peace conference next month in Bahrain.

Presidential advisers Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt met with Jordan’s King Abdullah II in Amman.

The official Petra news agency said the two parties "discussed regional developments, especially efforts to resolve the Paleostinian-Israeli conflict."

The king restated his commitment to the two-state solution, with the formation of an independent Paleostinian state alongside Israel, a position that appears to be at odds with President Donald Trump

Jordan, a key US ally, has not yet said whether it will attend the June 25-26 meeting in the Bahraini capital, Manama.

The Paleostinians have already said they will not attend the summit and have rejected the Trump administration’s Mideast peace plan out of hand.

Kushner, who arrived from Morocco, has said the conference will focus on the economic foundations of peace between Israel and the Paleostinians. The conference will not include core political issues, such as Paleostinian statehood.

Greenblatt and Kushner met with Morocco’s King Mohammed VI on Tuesday and discussed Morocco’s support for the peace conference. Moroccan officials declined commenting on Kushner’s visit.

The White House confirmed Kushner was in Amman on Wednesday, but gave no details.

Reliant on American political and military support, it will be difficult for Jordan reject the invitation. But with most of its people of Paleostinian descent, it will be difficult to embrace a plan that does not include a Paleostinian state.
