Jordan prefers talks for Palestinian state
None
Jordan's foreign minister says his country supports a Palestinian drive for recognition at the UN but prefers negotiations toward creation of a Palestinian state.
Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh told reporters Wednesday that Jordan supports the Palestinian campaign, but it should take into account the rights of Palestinian refugees, the fate of Jerusalem and the borders of a future Palestinian state. He said the "best way" to attain statehood is through "direct negotiations." (AP)
