JERUSALEM, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Jordan's King Abdullah said in remarks broadcast on Friday that there was little time left to settle the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and that this may be "the last opportunity for peace".

"We find ourselves at this very important crossroads... What I do feel really is the last opportunity for peace for all of us," Abdullah told Israel's Channel 2 television in excerpts from an interview to be broadcast in full on Saturday.

"The opportunities that we have are diminishing and ... I believe that the way the dynamics are changing is that we will find ourselves in a very short period of time with never being able to push the two-state solution," he added.

Former Egyptian prisoner Abdul Sammad Alsead speaks during a news conference in Cairo March 8, 2007. The former prisoner of war (POW) is bringing a lawsuit against Israel following recent allegations that an Israeli army unit massacred 250 Egyptian POWs in Sinai during the 1967 war instead of transferring them to POW camps. Israel denies the allegations.
