Jordan's King Abdullah expressed concern on Sunday over a decision by Washington to recognise Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, and said the only solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict was a two-state one.

In remarks during talks with U.S. Vice Mike Pence in Amman, he reiterated that East Jerusalem had to be the capital of a future Palestinian state.
