“We are protecting Christianity—its communities and heritage—in its native and historic land, while promoting the true image of Islam against the voices of hate,” the King said.
He also reiterated Jordan’s commitment to the Hashemite Custodianship over the Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem and to preserving their historic and legal status quo.
“We will continue to uphold the Hashemite Custodianship and historic and legal status quo at Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem,” he stressed.
Commitment to peace and Palestinian support
