In an interview with Masha'a al-Sarheed, director of Kuwait News Agency Amman branch, King Abdullah said "it is up to the Iraqis and to the Iraqis alone to decide how long the occupation forces could stay in Iraq."

On the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Abdullah said the roadmap peace plan is still the sole opportunity to establish peace in theregion and Israeli will never enjoy peace and security as long as it continues occupying the Palestinian land.

It is regrettable to see Israel impeding the implementation of the roadmap, he added.

The king denounced the recent terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia and reaffirmed Jordan's total support to the kingdom. He also condemned all forms of terrorism and called for a staunch Arab stand to fight terrorism and eradicated all its sources.

On his two-day visit to Kuwait scheduled for Tuesday, King Abdullah said the visit comes within the continuous consultation and coordination with Kuwaiti people.

He said the occupation of Iraq, the tragic situation in the Palestinian areas, and the escalation of terrorist acts will be among the top agenda for discussion during the visit.

He said he would listen to Emir of Kuwait and other Kuwaiti officials' views on the ongoing events in the region particularly in Iraq and Palestine.
