His Majesty called for creating a political horizon that leads to a comprehensive, just, and lasting settlement of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on the basis of the two-state solution, guaranteeing the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on the 4 June 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.
