".....we are thinking about how best we can support Israel and Palestine to exist and prosper side-by-side. I believe Japan can support Israel and Palestine in a manner different than the Europeans and Americans. Specifically, there is this Jordan valley and we would like to contribute to the establishment of the foundation of everyday life; that is sought by everyone--the Israelis, the Palestinians, and the Jordanians.......King Abdullah of Jordan was of the view that it is because of this serious situation that it is best that we launch this sort of project as early as possible, Japan, Israel, Palestine, and Jordan together. ......So without being discouraged by the current circumstances as Japan is concerned we shall start concrete consultations amongst high officials of the parties concerned as early as possible."
