 His Majesty King Abdullah stated on Thursday February 2nd that for more than a century, Jerusalem has been a personal concern for Jordan and the Hashemite family rather than a political one.

In his keynote address to the 71st National Prayer Breakfast Gathering in Washington, DC, King Abdullah stated, "for more than a century, we have been entrusted with the Hashemite Custodianship of the city's Muslim and Christian holy sites," noting that the Hashemites' lives have been intertwined with the city's for generations.

In the address, made in the presence of Her Majesty Queen Rania, His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah II and Her Royal Highness Princess Iman to a number of political, ideological, and religious leaders from the United States and other countries-His Majesty recalled the assassination of his late grandfather, King Abdullah I, on the steps of Jerusalem's Al Aqsa Mosque.

"My father, the future King Hussein, was standing behind his grandfather. He somehow survived the gunfire. "His experience that day, along with his faith in God, resulted in a life-long, relentless quest of peace," the King concluded.

"I remember so vividly how in his last days, he travelled here to DC from Mayo Clinic, amid his chemotherapy treatment, to assist see through a new round of peace talks. "Peace was always attainable and always the priority for him," His Majesty added.

Instead of additional political process, His Majesty stated that "we need our faith: the moral imagination to trust in a better, more just world" to create peace.

"We need the will to see our shared humanity, to rise beyond divisive rhetoric, and to establish the mutual trust that our future so sorely requires," King continued.

His Majesty added, "like our talk today" at the National Prayer Breakfast meeting, which draws together intellectual and political leaders from various religious origins and beliefs.

The occasion also included telepresence remarks from US Vice President Joe Biden and a video greeting from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
