At a news conference with British Prime Minister Tony Blair he distanced himself from Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf who says a continuation of bombing to during Ramadan would send "negative fallout to the entire Muslim world."
"All of us would like to see the situation in Afghanistan brought to a conclusion sooner rather than later," said the king.
Earlier King Abdullah spoke to Britain's Houses of Parliament saying Jordan stood "shoulder to shoulder" with the world community in the fight against terrorism.
In a speech at the UK Houses of Parliament, he called the events of September 11 "evil" and said that moderate Muslims backed the anti-terror fight. The king also called for Israel to keep to its commitments in the Middle East, calling for a Palestinian state and saying that he welcomed the support of U.S. President George W. Bush on the issue.
