Egypt FM speaks to Jordan counterpart, warns of ‘disastrous’ annexation fallout
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on Google“Any unilateral actions” by Israel such as annexation could result in “disastrous consequences,” Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh al-Shoukry says after speaking with his Jordanian counterpart, Ayman al-Safadi.
“[Both ministers] rejected the annexation of any parts of the West Bank to Israel,” Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ahmad Hafez says, adding that the only solution was a return to negotiations and the two-state framework.
During the phone call, Jordan and Egypt committed to continue working together to support the advancement of the peace process and to protect Palestinians’ legitimate rights, Hafez says.
