During a press conference with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi issued a strong warning to Israel, stating that any attempt to displace West Bank Palestinians into Jordan would be seen as a “declaration of war.” Safadi condemned Israel’s recent escalation in the West Bank, criticizing extremist ministers for spreading hatred against Palestinians.
The raids in the West Bank have resulted in the deaths of at least 36 Palestinians, making it the most violent escalation in over two decades. Safadi emphasized the importance of stopping the aggression in Gaza and the West Bank to prevent further regional destabilization.
Safadi also called on Germany to impose sanctions on Israel for its actions in Gaza, where thousands of Palestinians have lost their lives. While Germany traditionally supports Israel’s right to self-defense, Baerbock expressed the need for a two-state solution and permanent peace in the region.
Overall, Safadi stressed the necessity of addressing the root causes of the conflict, ending the occupation, and establishing an independent Palestinian state to achieve long-term peace, security, and stability in the region.
