Jordan's King Abdullah II addressed the United Nations on Tuesday, expressing concern that Israel's expansionist ambitions pose a threat to the Middle East. The Jordanian monarch specifically cited Israel's actions in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and southern Syria as evidence of this threat. Addressing the UN General Assembly in New York, King Abdullah warned that Israel's government is "testing how far it can go" through a series of calculated steps.
He pointed out that while Israel's actions have generated some international response, "resolutions end where they began: on paper." The king characterized this as a "wilful choice," resulting in a "state without restraint." He emphasized that this unchecked behavior has reached "terrifying levels," and warned that "no one in this assembly should assume [Israel's] ambitions stop at Palestine."
