King Abdullah said Jordan “puts all its diplomatic relations and capabilities at the service of the Palestinian cause,” Petra reported.

The king also said “there is no alternative to a two-state solution to achieve just and comprehensive peace,” Petra added.

The devastating 11-day conflict claimed the lives of at least 242 Palestinians, including 66 children, while 12 people died in Israel, including one child.
