Jordan's king to meet Obama in Washington

Amman- King Abdullah II of Jordan is to meet with US President Barack Obama in Washington on April 21, the royal court announced Sunday. The discussions are expected to focus on 'efforts underway to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on the basis of the two- state formula,' a royal statement said. The monarch, the first Arab leader on an official visit to the United States after Obama's inauguration in January, will provide an Arab plan for peace in the Middle East, officials said. The plan envisages extending recognition to Israel by all Arab states if it quits all the Arab territories that it occupied during the 1967 Six-Day War, including East Jerusalem. This plan was endorsed by Arab leaders during a March summit in Doha. Six Arab foreign ministers and Arab League Secretary General Amr Mussa, who met in Amman on Saturday, reportedly authorized King Abdullah to speak on behalf of the Arab world when he meets Obama. The US president drew positive reactions from the Arab media when he told the Turkish parliament earlier this week that he strongly supported the two-state solution.
