just and comprehensive settlement to the Palestine cause.

resolutions, and the Arab peace initiative.

achieving legitimate rights.

consultations between the two sides. He affirmed keenness on developing relations with Jordan in all spheres.
Mishaal said that his movement categorically rejects all projects of an alternative homeland for the Palestinian people.
The monarch then hosted a lunch banquet in honor of Mishaal and his accompanying delegation attended by the Jordanian
premier and senior officials.
