FM, Greek counterpart hold talks in Athens, 5th add

Amman: "We will not clean up after Netanyahu, we will not send troops to Gaza to replace the Israeli occupation forces, and we will not deal with the catastrophic reality created by Netanyahu and his government and this aggression," Safadi said. "We want a comprehensive plan not only to stop the war but also to reach a just, comprehensive and lasting peace based on the two-state solution, and this basically means that any approach that deals with Gaza separately from the rest of the occupied Palestinian territories and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, cannot be accepted," he emphasized. Asked about initiatives aimed at delivering humanitarian aid to Gaza, Safadi said, "A few days ago, His Majesty the King hosted the Call for Action: Urgent Humanitarian Response for Gaza" conference, jointly organized with Egyptian President El Sisi and the UN Secretary-General, and at that conference there was a real assessment by UN organizations of the challenges that prevent aid from reaching Gaza, and these chal lenges are multiple; the first is that Israel prevents the entry of aid convoys adequately through many complications, and there are so-called lists of dual-use items that Israel uses as a pretext to prevent the arrival of basic needs for Gazans, and the second is that all land crossings must be opened for the entry of aid, and this has not happened so far, and we in the Kingdom have dealt with this reality through airdrops and have dropped many tons of aid in cooperation with our partners, including Greece, to meet the needs of the people. But as His Majesty the King said, this does not meet the minimum. The first step is to open all crossings and remove all obstacles to the entry of aid, and the second step is to ensure the delivery of this aid to those in need in Gaza, and this is not available."
