I'm not the type of person that is forced.

For me, I am left leaning when it comes to health and education, on the right when it comes to defense. So I don't know where I come on the political spectrum. And I think this the challenge that a lot of Jordanians have to deal with.

Blowing up buses will not induce the Israelis to move forward, and neither will the killing of Palestinians or the demolition of their homes and their future. All this needs to stop. And we pledge that Jordan will do its utmost to help achieve it.

Peace with Israel is a strategic imperative for Jordan.

Jerusalem is a time bomb that I fear is just waiting to go off.

The Arab Spring I think we will look back whether it's two years, five years, ten or fifteen. And say it's a good thing.

I look at Jerusalem as being a beacon for the three monotheistic religions.
