Gaza Strip.

“The continuation of Israel’s aggression will have dangerous
repercussions on everything, including Jordanian-Israeli relations," the
minister said in a speech during the
Arab League’s emergency ministerial
meeting.
He added: “
Jordan will take all the steps necessary to
support our (Palestinian) brothers, protect Palestine’s holy sites, its
people’s rights and the region’s right to just, and comprehensive peace, which
ensures all of the Palestinian people’s rights. This is a strategic option that
can only be realized through a two-state solution, in accordance with
international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.”
“Israel will not experience security until the Palestinians
do. Israel and the region will not know peace until the Palestinians do,”
Safadi added.
Safadi stressed that Jerusalem “is a red line and that
Israel is playing with fire,” adding that that its aggression and immorality
are pushing the entire region into further strife, thereby destroying all
chances for peace and stability.
The foreign minister’s speech also addressed the
occupation’s ongoing eviction of Shiekh Jarrah residents, noting that these
actions constitute war crimes that the international community must not allow
to continue.
“As an occupying force, the Israeli authorities are bound by
international law to respect the rights Palestinians to their homes,” Safadi
said, adding that Jordan has provided the Palestinian National Authority all
the documents needed to prove Sheikh Jarrah residents’ ownership of their
homes.
Safadi concluded his speech by calling upon the
international community to “take immediate action” in order to achieve peace
and restore the Palestinian people’s rights.
