Jordan’s King Calls for De-Escalation of Tensions in Region

Jordan’s King Abdullah II called for a de-escalation of tensions in the Middle East to prevent a full-out regional war.

Jordan won’t be a battleground for any party and won’t tolerate any threats to the lives of its people, the king also said at a meeting in Amman with a delegation of US Congress staffers, according to an emailed statement by the Royal Hashemite Court.
