In a meeting with the UN Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen, Safadi followed up on the outcomes of talks he and Pedersen held in Amman on efforts to reach a political solution to end the Syrian crisis.
Safadi underscored Jordan’s support for efforts of the UN Special Envoy for Syria, noting that solving the Syrian crisis is a necessity that efforts must be combined to achieve.
Safadi held talks with the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Tor Wennesland, during which Safadi warned of the danger of the Israeli escalation against the Palestinians, and stressed the need to stop the repeated illegal violations that undermine the peace process.
Safadi underlined the need to respect the historical and legal status quo in Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem and to stop all provocations and violations against them.
Safadi urged the international community to move urgently and effectively to stop the escalation and protect what remains of hope and confidence in the viability of the peace process and chances of achieving a comprehensive peace, for which the two-state solution is the only way.
For his part, Wennesland underlined the continuation of work with Jordan to reactivate the peace process and stop the escalation, reiterating the United Nations stance in support of the two-state solution and its rejection of unilateral measures that undermine it.
