"Our response has been, 'Well, let's then make an effort to get the Israelis and the Palestinians to sit around the table.' That hasn't happened. So we only have ourselves to blame for this crisis"

This quote by King Abdullah II is a reflection on the existing state of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He acknowledges that the global community has actually attempted to bring the 2 sides together to negotiate a serene resolution, however that this has not succeeded. He indicates that the failure to bring the 2 sides together is a result of the global neighborhood's own shortcomings. He suggests that the worldwide neighborhood ought to take duty for the present crisis, as it has actually not had the ability to bring the 2 sides together to negotiate a tranquil resolution. This quote highlights the value of the international community's function in dealing with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the need for the global community to take responsibility for its own failures in this regard.
