AMMAN, Jordan - Jordan's King Abdullah II has warned Israel against launching military operations in Gaza saying it would hinder peace efforts and endanger regional security.
Abdullah made his warning in a royal palace press statement following talks with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Amman. Abbas had earlier traveled to Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
"Any vast Israeli military operation in Gaza poses a great danger to the security and stability in the Mideast and drastically harms efforts to achieve peace," Abdullah said Wednesday.
Israeli leaders are debating whether to pursue a truce with Gaza's Hamas rulers or launch a broad military operation instead in the wake of increasing violence.
