H.M. KING ABDULLAH II OF JORDAN TO LAUNCH 'THE AMMAN MESSAGE' PEACE INITATIVE IN THE U.S. AT THE SIMON WIESENTHAL CENTER MUSEUM OF TOLERANCE IN LOS ANGELES
(Jerusalem) - His Majesty King Abdullah II of Jordan announced today to a 38-member leadership delegation from the Simon Wiesenthal Center his intention to launch the US leg of his initiative for peace, "The Amman Message", at the SWC's Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles in the fall. The announcement was made to the delegation from the US and Europe at a ceremony in the Royal Palace during which the SWC presented the King with its 2005 Tolerance Award.
'We are recognizing King Abdullah for being a force for moderation and for his leadership in promoting peace and tolerance,' stated Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder and dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a leading international Jewish human rights NGO. 'His consistent repudiation of terrorism, anti-Semitism and extremism are critical in interfaith relations and in moving the Middle East peace process forward,' he added."
