King Jordan ready to support NATO alliance in Middle East
Amman: The King of Jordan has said he is ready to support the formation of a military alliance similar to NATO in the Middle East. King Abdullah said he would support the formation of a Middle East Military Alliance.
“I will be one of the first people to join and support NATO in the Middle East,” King Abdullah of Jordan told CNBC.
The statement from the ruler of Jordan, the US’s closest ally, is significant at a time when the Russia-Ukraine war and NATO intervention are strong.
“I want to see more countries in the region join this group. But when such a military alliance is formed, its framework must be clear and its purpose precisely defined.
The statement of the mission must be accurate. Otherwise it will confuse the people, ”King Abdullah added.
King Abdullah said that Jordan is a country that has been active with NATO and sees itself as a member of NATO and has been working side by side with NATO forces for decades.
He also said that Russia’s occupation of Ukraine had helped unite the Middle East.
Jordan is a country that participates in NATO’s military exercises, even if it is not a member of NATO.
The United States is a key member of NATO. King Abdullah’s mention of ‘Middle East NATO’ is also noteworthy as US President Joe Biden is scheduled to visit Middle East countries, including Saudi Arabia.
NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is a 30-member military alliance comprising 28 European countries and two North American countries.
