Allowing priests to marry, and ordaining women, would...

A statement issued by the Royal Hashemite Court immediately afterwards called for disputes with Iraq to be settled "through dialogue and peaceful means" and revealed that Abdullah had expressed his concerns about "the repercussions of any possible strike on Iraq and the danger of that on the stability and security of the region...
