Abdullah II of Jordan

The incentive that you give to your youth is going to be the make-or-break future of the country. ”

If you believe that the killing of innocent people is right, then you are not part of my future. ”

The security and the future of Jordan is hand-in-hand with the future of the Palestinians and the Israelis. ”

Blowing up buses will not induce the Israelis to move forward, and neither will the killing of Palestinians or the demolition of their homes and their future. All this needs to stop. And we pledge that Jordan will do its utmost to help achieve it. ”

The Arab World is writing a new future; the pen is in our own hands. ”

There is a tendency by a lot of officials to hide behind the king. And it's about time that officials take their responsibility and are responsible in front of the people. ”

In our view, successful reform is not an event. It is a sustainable process that will build on its own successes - a virtuous cycle of change. ”

Over the past few years, the road to confrontation has shown its consequences: loss of innocent lives, destruction and fear. Most costly, however, was the loss of hope. The most precious gift that you can present to your peoples over the coming weeks is renewed hope born out of tangible progress on the ground. ”

What keeps me up at night is poverty and unemployment. ”
