Boy King Appeals to Merkel
"Jordan's King Abdullah II on Saturday urged Germany, as holder of the European Union presidency, to play the "hoped-for role" in efforts aimed at advancing the peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, according to an official statement.
The monarch made the remarks during talks with the German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the Red Sea port of Aqaba, where she arrived earlier Saturday at the outset of a regional tour.
"King Abdullah underscored the importance of Germany playing the hoped-for role in efforts aimed at building upon the momentum that emerged from the Arab summit conference with a view to moving the Middle East peace process out of the present deadlock," a royal court statement said."
