His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday discussed with the Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan the Arab and international moves taken to stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza.

He also held similar talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and discussed the issue with a top UK official over phone.

The King-Erdogan talks, held in Aqaba and attended by Prime Minister Nader Dahabi, addressed efforts exerted to end the Israeli offensive on Gaza, including the initiative that Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit discussed with the Turkish leadership in Ankara on Tuesday.

During the meeting, King Abdullah said that nothing justifies the international community's failure to take immediate action to force Israel to stop its attacks on the Gaza Strip.

The King also warned against the negative consequences that the Israeli attacks would have on the peace process, which seeks to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in accordance with the two-state solution, deemed key to achieving security and stability in the region.

The Monarch called on the international community to shoulder its responsibility and to move immediately to stop the assault on Gaza which represents a breach of all humanitarian, legal and moral laws. King Abdullah also called for lifting the blockade on Gaza, opening the crossings and allowing medical and humanitarian assistance to enter the city.

King Abdullah reiterated that Israel would not attain peace by killing innocent people and civilians in the Gaza Strip and by subjecting Palestinians to a humanitarian catastrophe there.

The Turkish premier, for his part, briefed the King on the efforts Turkey is exerting to end the crisis.

Also in Aqaba today, King Abdullah discussed with Abbas the steps that need to be taken to stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza and to end the suffering of the Palestinians there as soon as possible.

King Abdullah and Abbas reviewed Arab and international efforts exerted to take effective action to immediately end the Israeli assault.

King Abdullah reiterated Jordan's support for the Palestinian people under these circumstances, noting that Jordan will continue to present different forms of aid and medical assistance to Gaza and set up military hospitals in the strip.

The King also reviewed with British Foreign Secretary David Miliband efforts exerted to arrive at an international stance to pressure Israel into halting its assault on Gaza.

During a telephone conversation, the King urged prompt action to deal with the crisis, calling for reviving peace efforts aimed at solving the Mideast conflict by implementing the two-state solution.
