Jordan's king urges FM Livni to set proper conditions for peace
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Jordan's King Abdullah II has told Israel to set the conditions necessary for peacemaking so that an agreement with the Palestinians can be reached this year.
Abdullah's remarks came in a meeting Sunday with Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in the Red Sea resort of Sharm el-Sheik, his royal palace said. The king also held separate talks with US President Bush.
Abdullah urged Bush to maintain a hands-on approach to peacemaking, while he told Livni that Israel must immediately halt settlement activities in the West Bank and end its crippling economic blockade against the Palestinians.
He said a Palestinian-Israeli peace deal must be reached this year.
