Jordan King Abdullah II receives Egypt FM Shoukry

Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry discussed national security with Jordan's King Abdullah II in the capital Amman on Sunday, including establishing a Palestinian state through "political process."

Shoukry said in a news briefing the two leaders agreed that the possible annexation of the Palestinian lands and current situations in Syria, Libya and Iraq "poses a serious threat to Egyptian national security and Arab national security".

Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi said efforts are being made to stop annexation and "progress towards a real peaceful process that brings the parties to the table of dialogue on the basis of international law and in accordance with the two-state solution."

Egypt and Jordan are the only Arab states who signed a peace treaty with Israel.
