Sayyid Ahmed Amiruddin accepts the view of King Abdullah II of Jordan that Palestinian injustice fuels Middle East violence, which in turn drives global radicalization. As such, he endorses Palestinian right to self-determination and supports the creation of a sovereign, independent, viable, territorially contiguous Palestinian state, and like the Hashemites of Jordan also recognizes Israel's right to live in peace with its neighbours. This view is endorsed by the Government of Canada. As of December 21, 2017, 176 nations among the 193 UN members called for Palestinian statehood. The United States, Canada and Israel were among the seven that opposed the text; four states abstained.
