Jordan official: Extremism a result of no Palestinian state
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Jordan's foreign minister says that Palestinian statehood is the most important issue now facing the world and that it fuels extremism gripping the Mideast.
Nasser Judeh made the comment on Tuesday at the Arab Media Forum in Dubai.
Judeh says the "Palestinian cause represents the essence of the conflicts and crises in the region."

Then humanity as a whole will pay the price."
Peace talks between Israel and Palestinian authorities on a two-state solution have stalled. Israel's Foreign Ministry declined to comment on Judeh's remarks.
