AMMAN— Deputising for His Majesty King Abdullah, Tourism Minister Lina Annab on Monday attended the Christmas midnight mass at Bethlehem’s Church of the Nativity, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

During the mass, attended by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Annab conveyed His Majesty King Abdullah’s and Jordanians’ greetings to Christians.

The minister noted that Jerusalem is a Palestinian and Arab city under the Hashemite custodianship, and is a common heritage for Christians and Muslims.

She also said that Christmas is an occasion to reiterate the rejection of the US decision recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and support Palestinians.
