Zionist Union leader Avi Gabbay met Monday with Jordan's King Abdullah in Amman to discuss the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
A tweet by the Jordanian Royal Court said the two "discussed the need to revive the peace process, based on the two-state solution and in accordance with international law, relevant U.N. resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative."
An official palace statement quoted in Jordanian media later added that "King Abdullah stressed the need to revive the peace process, based on the two-state solution … leading to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with east Jerusalem as its capital, living side by side with Israel, in peace and security."
According to the statement, the monarch further pledged that Jordan will "continue undertaking its historical role in safeguarding Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, in line with the Hashemite Custodianship."
Gabbay's office said he had "expressed his deep appreciation for Israeli-Jordanian peace" and for the king's "determined efforts to promote regional stability."
He said that his faction, comprising the Labor and Hatnuah parties, "remains committed to achieving peace between Israel and Arab countries based on the two-state solution as the best way to bring peace and long-term security to Israel."
