(C) POLOFF met on November 13 with the Jordanian Foreign
Ministry's International Organizations Director Ayman
al-Aamiry and his deputy, Hussam al-Husseini, to deliver
reftel demarche. While urging continued efforts to achieve
consensus in the UN forum, both said the GOJ would support
the resolution, consistent with Jordan's "conscience and
convictions." They expressed appreciation -- Aamiry said he
was "pleasantly surprised" -- for U.S. flexibility in
renegotiating the resolution in response to various concerns
raised by the OIC and some African States, particularly
broadening the focus to condemn actions by non-state actors
as well. Both said that approach was most appropriate with
issues as important as the one at hand.
