	Online NewsHour: King Abdullah -- April 9, 2001
		KING ABDULLAH II: Well, I'm still to see the president, but in our discussions with various members of the administration and even on the Hill, there is a perception in the Middle East that America is not interested in really sticking its neck out for the Israelis and the Palestinians, which is not true.
		KING ABDULLAH II: I think one of the messages that I've already started to send back is that there is a sense of frustration in the United States, that we need to really put our heads together and move forward.
		KING ABDULLAH II: Well, His Majesty always taught us to be a voice of moderation, to always look beyond the interests of our own borders, to look at the goodness of what could be bought for the whole region in the Middle East, and it's that sort attitude that I think permeates throughout Jordan.

	:: Foreign Ministry - The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan
		King Abdullah II: He was doomed to failure because of the squabbling, if you will, or the competition inside the Palestinian organizations but also I believe that the Israeli government could have done a lot more to support Mahmoud Abbas.
		King Abdullah II: Well again, I think that that was a tactical mistake because if you want to be able to deal with the process of moving forward, the future of the Palestinians is a government institution that is sort of recognized by all of us in the international community.
		King Abdullah II: The conversations that I have, they understand the core issue of the Israelis, Palestinians being the recruiting ground for extremists and being the course that allows people like Osama bin Laden to have such a platform to bring hatred to have a policy of conflict with inside of Islam and out.
