King Abdullah II of Jordan has warned that the Middle East is doomed unless there is a peace process leading to a Palestinian state.
The king was speaking in an exclusive interview for BBC Panorama, as he prepared to attend a summit in Egypt's Sharm el-Sheikh on President Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan for the region.
The summit is taking place on the day Hamas released the last living Israeli hostages held in Gaza in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and detainees held by Israel.
"If we don't solve this problem," King Abdullah said, "if we don't find a future for Israelis and Palestinians and a relationship between the Arab and Muslim worlds and Israel, we're doomed."
King Abdullah said the region had seen many failed attempts at peace and that the implementation of a two-state solution - the creation of an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza, alongside Israel - was the only answer.
