to step down. King Abdullah II is the first Arab leader to call for Assad's resignation.
"I believe, if I were in his shoes, I would step down. I would step down and make sure whoever comes behind me has the ability to change the status quo that we're seeing," King Abdullah told the state-funded BBC on Monday becoming the first Arab leader calling for Assad's resignation.
The gathering was also a response to Jordan's vote for the suspension of Syria from the Arab League

earlier this week.
Jordan was among the 18 countries in the 22-member AL that voted to suspend Syria on Saturday during an emergency session in Cairo. The League suspended Syria's membership over what it described as the failure of Damascus to implement a peace plan proposed by the AL to end months of unrest in the country.
Shortly after the announcement, thousands of Syrians erupted into the streets of Damascus and staged protest rallies in front of the Qatari, Saudi, Turkish and US Embassies.
Some protesters broke into the Saudi Embassy while some accessed the rooftop of the Qatari Embassy and raised the Syrian national flag.
Syrians have accused the Arab bloc of acting out a plot they say has been hatched by the United States.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem has condemned the AL move as an ''illegitimate and dangerous step''.
