Jordan: Cohen's statements regarding the State of Palestine reflect a crisis in the Israeli government.

The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered on Wednesday that the statements made by the extremist Israeli Minister of Energy, Eli Cohen, who rejected the establishment of a Palestinian state, reflect the troubled reality of his government.

Cohen stated to the Israeli Broadcasting Authority: "If the price of normalization is the establishment of a Palestinian state that endangers the security of the State of Israel, I will give up normalization."

Foreign Ministry spokesman Fouad Majali said in a statement that his ministry "condemns the racist and inciting statements made by Cohen regarding the rejection of the establishment of a Palestinian state, and his desperate attempt to promote illusions that will not affect Jordan, nor the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and the realization of their independent state on Palestinian national soil."

Majali emphasized that the Palestinian state "will be realized on Palestinian national soil along the lines of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the two-state solution in accordance with international legitimacy resolutions."

He affirmed that "the absurd illusions of Israeli extremists will not affect Jordan, nor diminish the legitimate and inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, and will not be able to change the reality of the internationally isolated Israeli government or influence the increasing international support for the two-state solution and support for the rights of the Palestinian people."

Majali called on the international community to take a clear stance condemning these statements and all Israeli racist incitement actions and statements that have no place except in the minds of extremists threatening the stability of the region and regional and international security and peace.
