King Abdullah told Christodoulides there would be risky consequences from any attempt to forcibly push Palestinian people from their land while it maintained security control, authorities said. It said the forcible expulsion of Palestinian people would amount to a declaration of war and also prompt Jordan to suspend its peace agreement with Israel.
Earlier, on Tuesday, Jordan denounced Israel’s move to build new settlements in Arab East Jerusalem. “Israel’s extension of Jewish settlement building on land it occupied and the confiscation of territory are a blatant violation of global law” and dimmed any prospects of peace, said Sufain Qudah, spokesman for the Foreign Ministry.
