<p><strong>According to reports by a Kuwaiti daily made on Wednesday, July 27, King Abdullah II of Jordan recently declined a secret meeting with Israeli Prime Minister, Binyamin Netanyahu.</strong></p>
<p>&#8216;Well informed&#8217; anonymous sources told Al-Jareeda newspaper that Netanyahu had sent a special emissary to Amman to request a secret meeting with Abdullah in Aqaba. However, the King refused saying that his schedule was overloaded.</p>
<p>According to the paper, Jordan&#8217;s King is &#8220;angry with the Israeli Prime Minister over his government&#8217;s position on Israeli-Palestinian negotiations; over statements made by figures close to Netanyahu asserting that &#8216;Jordan is Palestine&#8217;; and over Netanyahu&#8217;s position on the Jordan Valley and his insistence that it remains under Israeli sovereignty.&#8221;</p>
<p>During a meeting with a delegation of Kuwaiti journalists on Tuesday, King Abdullah asserted that he was not optimistic about the future of the settlement process in the region. He expressed a lack of trust in the Israeli government and his particular worry that Jordan&#8217;s gates could be forced wide open to Arab newcomers whose countries are witnessing political change.</p>
