Israel's offensive on Iran is a threat to everyone, Jordan's King tells EU parliament
Israel's expanded offensive on Iran is a threat to everyone, Jordan's King Abduallah II told the European Parliament in Strasbourg today (17 June).
"There is no telling where the boundaries of this battleground will end… The attacks on Iran threaten a dangerous escalation in our region and beyond," he said, as quoted by Arab News.
"If our global community fails to act decisively we become complicit in rewriting what it means to be human. If Israeli bulldozers continue to illegally demolish Palestinian homes, olive trees and infrastructure, so too will they flatten the rails that defy moral grounds," he added.

He reiterated the need for the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state and the importance of granting Palestinians the right to freedom and statehood.
"Global security won't be assured until the global community acts to end the three-year war in Ukraine and the world's longest and most destructive flashpoint, the eight-decade-long Palestinian Israeli conflict," he said.
Europe's leadership will be vital in choosing the right course of history, said the King and assured Jordan's position in its support to the EU.
"This conflict must end and the solution is rooted in international law. The path to peace has been walked before, and it can be walked again if we have the courage to choose it and the will to walk it together," he added.
