King Abdullah salutes Jordanians over Jerusalem protests

Translation: Jordanians have always been the pulse of this (Arab) nation. The immense feelings they expressed today for Jerusalem, our number one cause, and the unparalleled unity and fraternity, reflect the resilience and dignity of our people. God bless Jordan and its people, as a shield for our nation and its children.
