Jordan's king tells UN Israel's 'expansionist appetite' a regional threat

Jordan's King Abdullah II told the United Nations on Tuesday that Israel's "expansionist appetite" posed a threat to the Middle East, pointing to its actions in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and southern Syria.

"This Israeli government's expansionist appetite is now a regional threat," he said in remarks to the General Assembly in New York. "Step by calculated step, Israel is testing how far it can go."
