Jordan's Statement at General Assembly Debate on UN Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism

Jordan, in its statement at the General Assembly session on the Secretary General's Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism on February 12, 2016, argued that Israel is responsible for terrorism, while Muslims are exempt. In its words:

"I would like to state that the continued Israeli-Palestinian conflicts and the failure to achieve just and permanent solution that fulfills the aspirations of the Palestinian people will lead to more violence and hatred... There is a need not to link extremism with any faction or region or religion. Linking that with Islam will be only in the interest of the maverick terrorists."
