Jordan condemns “Israeli aggression” in Jenin, and calls on the international community to pressure Israel to stop the operation before the situation “explodes.”

According to Jordan’s Foreign Ministry, Foreign Minister Ayman Al-Safadi speaks with senior Palestinian Authority official Hussein Al-Sheikh to condemn the operation, calling it “a dangerous escalation that would set off wide cycles of violence.”

Safadi stresses that “the repeated Israeli attacks on Palestinian cities will only contribute to increasing tension, which is also fueled by illegal Israeli measures that undermine the two-state solution and kill hope in the chances of achieving a just and comprehensive peace.”

Jordan’s top diplomat also calls on Israel to engage in negotiations to bring about a two-state solution.
