His Majesty King Abdullah II on Thursday sent a letter to U.S President George W. Bush in which he shared his thoughts about the Palestinian-Israeli situation.

The King's letter stressed the urgency of exploring all opportunities to achieve the President's vision for a two state solution.

The letter reiterated the importance of negotiations between the two parties stating that any withdrawals from the West Bank is welcomed if negotiated with the Palestinian leadership in the person of the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas.

His Majesty added that any unilateral action will have "negative repercussions" on the Palestinians, Arab and Muslim countries.

The letter also stated that the deterioration of the Palestinian situation could have adverse consequences on Jordan's national security.

"A negotiated withdrawal will offer Palestinians hope in a political settlement and enhance movement on the Road Map."

His Majesty also underlined the importance of addressing the humanitarian situation in the Palestinian territories and the urgency of "establishing an effective mechanism" to channel the needed assistance.
