Jordanian King Abdullah II on Saturday voiced his support to a seven-point
plan put forward by Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora to end the conflict
between Lebanon's Hezbollah and Israel.
In a telephone conversation with Siniora, Abdullah condemned Israeli attacks and "massacres" against the Lebanese people,
describing the attacks as "flagrant violation of all humanitarian principles,
ethical norms and international covenants".
Siniora proposed a seven-point plan at an international conference on the
Lebanon crisis in Rome on July 26.
The plan envisages a ceasefire and an exchange of prisoners as well as
sending the Lebanese army into south Lebanon.
The king expressed Jordan's keenness to coordinate the Arab stands and
reaffirmed that Jordan would continue exerting efforts to find a solution to the
crisis.
Siniora, for his part, expressed appreciation for all forms of political and
humanitarian support provided by Jordan to Lebanon in these difficult
circumstances.
Some 900 Lebanese have been killed and a quarter of Lebanon's population
displaced since Israel launched a massive assault on Lebanese Hezbollah on July
12 in retaliation for the abduction of two Israeli soldiers by the Shiite group
in a cross-border raid.
