Jordan responds to Netanyahu's meeting request with 15 questions: The fate of the Palestinian state and halting displacement at the forefront

Journalist Rana Sabbagh has revealed repeated efforts by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the past months to hold a meeting with the Jordanian leadership, amid unprecedented political estrangement between the two sides. According to Sabbagh, these moves came under pressure from the United States and several European countries in the same direction, coinciding with regional tensions resulting from Netanyahu's escalatory policies against Jordan, the West Bank, Gaza, Lebanon, and Syria. For its part, Amman conditioned the situation on official clarifications, sending a letter containing 15 questions addressing vital issues; most notably the establishment of a Palestinian state, the prevention of displacement, settler violence, and land annexation, in addition to bilateral files such as the water agreement and humanitarian aid. Sabbagh concluded that the Israeli response received by Amman was "vague and unconvincing," leading to the closure of the matter. The Jordanian side emphasized that there was no need for "photo ops" to serve Netanyahu's electoral image, restricting current dialogue to the silent security and military communication channel. Furthermore, Jordan maintains its firm vision based on the necessity of establishing an independent Palestinian state on the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative. This position is consistently reaffirmed in all international forums.
