President Obama & King Abdullah II warned of dangers posed by Syria & Iran
The Washington Post reported that President Obama and King Abdullah II of Jordan warned Friday of the mounting danger Syria’s widening civil war poses to this neighboring kingdom but offered only fresh demands that the Assad government step down immediately. Appearing for the first time in an Arab nation since his 2009 address in Cairo, Obama pledged an additional $200 million in aid to Jordan this year to help address the growing needs of almost half a million Syrian refugees, equal to roughly 10 percent of the kingdom’s population.
Please pray for Jordan’s King Abdullah II as he leads his country into a more peaceful, prosperous and democratic future.
