Jordan's King Hussein will seek support against Israel's settlement policies in occupied territories during a Far East tour starting this week. Jordanian officials said the King's talks in Peking, Seoul, and Tokyo would focus on the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip. His tour coincides with fresh Jordanian efforts to forge a common Arab stand on the future of the occupied territories.
