Amman: "Israel is not only preventing food, medicine, water, and services from reaching Gaza, but also preventing UN organizations from delivering what little aid there is to those in need in Gaza," he said. He underscored that "this war must stop. Its continuation shows a flawed failure in the institutions of joint international action, and in our collective ability to stop war crimes that have been proven by all reports issued by independent organizations; war crimes that violate international law. Israel is now a rogue state that has been blacklisted among countries that kill and violate the rights of children, and the International Court of Justice demands that it stop its war and stop measures that violate international law." "The International Court of Justice is now considering the possibility that Israel may have committed genocide, all of this says that we cannot remain silent about what is happening, and we in Jordan and the Arab region certainly all want a just and comprehensive peace, but we all believe that the path of this peace is what we agreed upon in Greece, in the European Union, and even in the United States: that its path is the two-state solution, but Israel is undermining this solution," Safadi added. "There is a partner for peace in the Arab world, but the truth is that there is no Israeli partner for peace, and now we are dealing with the most extremist government, which continues its aggression on Gaza, in using starvation as a weapon, and in destroying the infrastructure in Gaza, and there is also another war waged by Israel in the West Bank, where settlement continues, and settler terrorism continues against Palestinians, where attacks on Islamic and Christian holy sites continue," he said. "I mentioned to his excellency the role of Jordan in protecting Islamic and Christian holy sites based on the historical Hashemite custodianship over these holy sites, and we see what is happening against these holy sites, not only an attack on Islamic holy sites, but also on Christian holy sites , clerics, and confiscation of church properties, including the Orthodox Church, and all these illegal steps push the West Bank towards explosion, and if the situation in the West Bank explodes, we are to face a greater disaster than the disaster we are witnessing," Safadi further added.
