His Majesty King Abdullah on Tuesday called on Israel to end its occupation of Arab land to guarantee peaceful coexistence with the world's Muslims.

In an interview with AFP on Tuesday, the King said that Israel, the European states and the United States should realize that the Palestinian issue does not only concern the Palestinians, but also has the sympathy of all Muslims from Indonesia to the Maghreb state.

His Majesty added that if Israel wants to coexist with more than a billion Muslims, it should end its occupation of Palestinian and Arab lands.

The King also urged Israelis to accept the Arab Peace Initiative, saying it “reflects collective Arab will to build peace that puts an end to years of violence and suffering.”
