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

I'm just very wary that once you start military operations in any country, it's very difficult to predict what the outcome is.

If you have a government that is elected, they need to do the hard work - because if they don't, they won't be around the next time the ballot box is open.

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

If you believe that the killing of innocent people is right, then you are not part of my future.

Many will view the compromises that will be made during your negotiations as painful concessions. But why not view them as peace offerings, ones that will provide in return the priceless gifts of hope, security and freedom for our children and our children's?

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.
