Jordan condemns Israeli settler attack on its aid convoy

Jordan Tuesday condemned the extremist Israeli settlers' attack on its aid convoy that was heading to Gaza via the Beit Hanoun crossing. The Foreign Ministry's spokesperson, Sufyan Qudah, said Israel is responsible for the settler attack on the aid convoys, stressing that the Israeli government's failure to stop the attacks is a "violation of its legal obligations." Qudah urged the international community to condemn the ongoing Israeli violations of the rules of international law and make Israel secure the passage of aid convoys into Gaza and stop settler attacks. He said the aid convoy of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) was attacked today by extremist settlers on its way to the Beit Hanoun crossing with Gaza before the aid trucks continued on their way.
