His Majesty King Abdullah took part in a one-on-one panel discussion with Al-Monitor President Andrew Parasiliti on Wednesday at the Middle East Global Summit, which was hosted by the Al-Monitor and Semafor media organisations and attended by worldwide political and media personalities.

The conversation, which was attended by Her Majesty Queen Rania Al Abdullah and Their Royal Highnesses Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II and Prince Hashem bin Abdullah II, covered the latest developments in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Jordan's efforts towards peace and regional integration, as well as pressure on the Kingdom as a result of hosting refugees and Syria's developments.

In response to a query on going forward with the peace process, King Abdullah stated that there are "two elephants in the room."

"One is Palestinian transition and the future for the younger generation of leaders," His Majesty said, adding that "part of the challenge is that we Jordanians, Arabs, Israelis, and Americans do not know who the younger generation of Palestinians are" and that it is critical to be able to reach out to these young voices.

The second elephant in the room, according to the King, is where Israel is going and "how can we have an understanding of a political horizon."

His Majesty emphasised the significance of investing in regional initiatives to break down boundaries, benefit all parties, and pave the road for peace efforts.

In response to the United States' efforts to broker peace between Saudi Arabia and Israel, the King stated that such a step "brings us through a new horizon," but that "part of the challenge is with the Israeli government." This assumption, shared by some in the region, that you can parachute over Palestine, deal with the Arabs, and then work your way back is incorrect. That isn't going to work."

"There is something Saudi Arabia wants, something Israel wants, something Americans want; what you have to add to that component is what do the Palestinians get out of it?" "And what does the region get out of it, because we're all in this together," His Majesty continued.

The King urged people to think strategically rather than tactically.

His Majesty also addressed the waning international attention and support for the refugee issue, warning that "this is a problem that's going to come back and haunt all of us" as a result of the insecurity in south Syria.

The King emphasised Jordan's efforts to help refugees with health and education services, as well as job possibilities, stating that "we're getting nothing compared to what we as a government are trying to put into support."

"That can only get worse with the challenges we have in the region, if there is another wave of refugees," His Majesty cautioned.

Concerning Jordan's efforts to strengthen regional cooperation, the King discussed the trilateral framework with Egypt and Iraq, as well as opportunities for regional projects in water and energy conveyance, railway infrastructure, and logistical bases to benefit the three countries and the region as a whole.

His Majesty finished the discussion by emphasising the region's immense opportunities, emphasising that the opportunity for economic development is what breaks down borders "because, at the end of the day, most people will vote for peace, if they can put food on the table for themselves, for their loved ones."

On September 20th, 2023, Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan visited the NBC's office where she granted an interview and sat down with TODAY's Hoda Kotb and discusses the situation of the globe and how she continues to find optimism for the future.

When asked by Hoda about the state of the world and how in a dark place it is in, and how through her speeches, she brings out the light and how do you see – how do you find that hope? And how does she convey it? Her Majesty replied, "Well, you know, you're right. I think our world is at an inflection point, you know, and it seems like polarization is really a defining feature of our world. Whenever we see somebody who disagrees with us, it has become natural to demonize them."

Her Majesty continue with, "And when you see everything through a political lens, it becomes very difficult to come together over any issue. And the irony is that the issues that we're facing today, from climate change, to migration, to inequality – those all need solutions that come from collaboration. So, if we're not talking to one another, we're not going to be able to find resolution to some of these issues. And I just feel like, we need more engagement that is rooted in optimism and hope, rather than fear.

And, you know, there's this wave of populism around the world that's using people's fears and insecurities for leaders to gain popularity. And that's not finding – that's not very helpful, it's not finding solutions. So I think we need to focus more, not on the why, for example, when it comes to climate change, but on the how: How do we find solutions?"

She also discusses raising her four children in public and guiding them through social media and technology.

Speaking about HRH the Crown Prince and her other children, Her Majesty replied, saying this "It's just scary how time flies, right? I mean, you know, as parents, I think it's our job to, you know, take care of our kids until they are old enough to go out into the world… but that doesn't make it easy when that day comes, actually. And, you know, in the span of three months, from the end of March to the beginning of June, I had two children get married and two graduate. I mean, what was I thinking?"

When speaking about being now an empty nester, she replied this,"I'm an empty nester right now, you know, and it's just this wave of emotions. You know, with Iman, it was a new experience for our family because she's the first one to get married. And there was so much planning and anticipation, culminated in a really beautiful and emotional day. Nothing can prepare you for the moment you see your daughter in that white dress. You know, the mixture of emotions – pride at the strong and independent woman she's become, joy for her joy, sadness for her leaving home… it all comes together and nothing can prepare you for that."
