Amman: The final communique of the fifth Jordan-Cyprus-Greece Trilateral Summit held in Amman on Wednesday affirmed that the two-state solution is the only path to a just and lasting peace. The tripartite summit was convened between King Abdullah II, Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, and Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
According to Palestine News and Information Agency - WAFA, the leaders emphasized the implementation of the two-state solution, allowing for an independent and sovereign Palestinian state to coexist peacefully alongside Israel. This stance is grounded in international law and relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions. The communique strongly condemned any illegal unilateral Israeli measures in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, which undermine the two-state solution.
The summit attendees highlighted the illegality of Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian Territory. They called for a halt to all settlement activities, land confiscations, and the rising violence from extremist settlers against Palestinians. The leaders reiterated their rejection of any attempts to annex the occupied West Bank or parts thereof and stressed their opposition to any displacement of the Palestinian people.
The necessity of preserving the Historic and Legal Status Quo at Jerusalem's Muslim and Christian holy sites was emphasized, with a call for safe access to these sites. Cyprus and Greece reaffirmed their support for the historic Hashemite Custodianship of Muslim and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem.
The leaders urged the full implementation of US President Donald Trump's comprehensive plan for Gaza and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803 to end the humanitarian crisis, facilitate early recovery and reconstruction, and establish a credible path to Palestinian self-determination and statehood. They stressed the importance of ensuring a continuous and safe flow of humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip.
The summit underscored the crucial role of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA). They stressed the need for the agency to continue its operations in line with its UN mandate, including through sufficient and sustainable funding, and condemned any actions that hinder its ability to fulfill its mandate.
