Jordan's King Abdullah II on Tuesday warned about what he called a plot against the Palestinians linked to Israel's Gaza Strip offensive, and he vowed to work with other states to thwart Israel's "agenda."
"I see a conspiracy against the Palestinian people and the future of Palestine," the king told Al-Jazeera television after meeting with a visiting delegation from the International Union of Muslim Scholars.
He said Jordan, which signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1994, "is concerned and upset, and fears about what could the aftermath of Gaza [be]."
"We must be aware of this conspiracy and God willing we, along with Arab and other countries, will stop Israel's agenda as soon as possible," the king said. "We will work with other countries in the coming two or three days to press Israel and its army to stop the aggression on Gaza," he added.
A palace statement said the king told influential cleric Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi at the meeting that "intensified efforts are needed to protect the Palestinians from the conspiracy that target their right to establish an independent state."
