Faraya emphasized Jordan's firm position on the need for an immediate cessation of the aggression on Gaza, the removal of all obstacles to the entry of adequate aid to all parts of the Strip, and all efforts to prevent regional escalation, preserve the remaining opportunities for peace and work to protect the region from the devastating effects of this war on all levels, and return to a serious political process that ends the conflict on the basis of the two-state solution and ensures security and peace for the countries of the region.
