His Majesty King Abdullah will take part in a four-way peace summit in Egypt with the Palestinian, Egyptian and Israeli leaders on Monday, a Royal Court official said on Thursday.

“The King will seek to back the Palestinian position and rally support for the Palestinians and help them restore their legitimate rights,” the official said.

The official added that the King's participation “underlines Jordan's keenness to support efforts aimed at reviving the peace process, ending the Israeli occupation and launching a comprehensive peace process that would lead to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state”.
