King Abdullah II of Jordan told US lawmakers in January that Turkey wants radical Islam to prevail in the Middle East and flow to Europe.
This and other statements, including Israel turning a blind eye on the Al-Nusra Islamic militant group, were revealed by The Guardian newspaper, which obtained leaked documents from a briefing King Abdullah presented to high-level US lawmakers, among them Senate Armed Services Committee chairman John McCain, Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman Bob Corker and House Speaker Paul Ryan when he was visiting the US in January.
According to The Guradian, Abdullah told the lawmakers that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan “believes in a radical Islamic solution to the problems in the region.â€
