King Abdullah II, the reigning monarch of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, will deliver a policy address on the future of Arab-American relations in the context of the Middle East’s current challenges at Princeton University on Feb. 29.
His talk is to focus on resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, which Jordan views as the most significant issue facing the region, according to Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, which is sponsoring the event.
