(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) Amman August 10 (QNA) - King Abdullah II of Jordan has stressed that first and foremost Israel is responsible for the aggression on the Gaza Strip and the world bears the responsibility of ending an occupation which is the last of its kind in modern history. In an interview with (Al-Ghad) Jordanian newspaper on Sunday King Abdullah II said "What has and continues to take place in Gaza is a Palestinian appeal to the entire world for an end to occupation destruction and killing perpetrated against a people seeking freedom security and dignity." The Jordanian King called the international community to hold Israel accountable for what it has committed against the Palestinian people otherwise he said "we will be talking about a fifth sixth and seventh war on Gaza where the Palestinian people will be the victims and Israel will still be unable to guarantee its own security." The two-state solution is the only way to end the conflict and establish security and stability for the entire region King Abdullah stressed. Regarding the situation in Syria and its repercussions on Jordan and the region King Abdullah said that there is no immediate or military solution to the Syrian crisis and growing extremism complicates it further adding "the developments we are witnessing are a recipe for disaster and intensify the spill-over of the Syrian crisis into neighbouring countries." The only workable solution is a political one that involves the national moderate opposition and the regime he said warning of the absence of a political solution and the continued stalemate in Syria. On the Iraqi crisis King Abdullah II of Jordan said "Iraq has and will remain a support for Jordan as we will remain a support for Iraq throughout history. Today Iraq is in dire need for an inclusive national political process in which all can participate without exclusion of any component." He added "The next Iraqi government regardless of who is named prime minister has a historic responsibility to implement just policies that involve all in sharing power and building the state. It must enroot a sense of stake-holding that makes all Iraqis feel they are real partners in shaping their country's future." (QNA)
