Jordan's King Abdullah II says if Israel goes ahead with the idea of annexing all the settlements in Judea and Samaria it would be a "disaster" for attempts to find any two-state solution with the Palestinians.

Speaking after talks with German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Tuesday, Abdullah said he was "extremely concerned" about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's vow to annex all of the settlements in the West Bank.

He says it will "directly impact" the relationship between Israel and Jordan, and Israel and Egypt, and that "these types of statements are ... a disaster to any attempt to move forward to the two-state solution."

Merkel agreed, calling Netanyahu's vow "unhelpful."

Abdullah added that "we're looking at this with tremendous concern."
