AMMAN (AFP) - Jordan's King Abdullah II urged Israel to state its position on Palestinian statehood and said Amman will contact the Jewish state to help reactivate peace talks between the two sides.
"Jordan will have contacts with Israel ... in addition to those it is having with the Palestinians, to encourage both sides to take measures to build trust between them and contribute to activate the peace process," the king told local newspaper editors, a royal court statement said.
"Jordan is ready to listen to the views of both sides and to help them put words into action," aimed at reviving moribund Palestinian-Israeli peace talks, the king said, the statement said.
The Jordanian monarch also warned that everyone, Israel included, would pay a price if the long-delayed issue of setting up an independent Palestinian state is not addressed quickly.
