Jordan’s king says the fight against terror and the migrant crisis are interlinked and must be tackled both by Europe and Mideast nations.
In a commentary Wednesday in Austria’s Der Standard newspaper, King Abdullah II describes the fight against terror as “a global war we should fight together as one.”
He also asks for support for countries like Jordan and Lebanon, which are suffering economically and socially by shouldering a massive burden of millions of refugees from Syria. He says jobs, education, health and peace are essential for a “future that will enhance stability and security for both our regions.”
