In an unannounced meeting with the Israeli prime minister, Jordan’s King Abdullah put new pressure on Israel to stop building settlements in the West Bank. The Jordanian king met with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmet in this Red Sea port of Aqaba, a day after the monarch met with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
