After an official lunch that is being held now with the Palestinian President, the prince and the princess of Asturias will continue on to Jordan.

Two weeks ago around thirty associations and NGOs from Spain and Israel submitted a letter to the Chief of Spanish Royal Household, Alberto Aza, asking for the cancellation of this official visit.According to the NGOs letter, which was also signed by the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD), this visit supports somehow the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian land.

ICAHD say that Israel promotes, finance and legitimate the illegal construction of settlement in violation of the international law.

新華網拉姆安拉４月１２日電（記者陳序　呂迎旭）巴勒斯坦民族權力機構主席阿巴斯１２日在約旦河西岸城市拉姆安拉會見了來訪的西班牙王儲費利佩和王儲妃萊蒂西亞，這是歐洲王室成員首次訪問巴勒斯坦。

阿巴斯在與費利佩王儲的會談中說，馬德裏和會的召開明確了實現巴以地區和平的基礎，那就是以“土地換和平”為原則，以兩國方案為基礎建立以東耶路撒冷為首都的獨立巴勒斯坦國。

費利佩強調，西班牙一貫支持巴以和平進程，尊重巴勒斯坦人民建立獨立的巴勒斯坦國的權利。

費利佩王儲在結束當天的訪問後，將立刻啟程前往約旦。此前，他還訪問了以色列，慶祝兩國建交２５周年。
