Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi praises the British suspension of some arms exports to Israel yesterday, and calls for “a complete arms embargo on Israel” from countries around the world.
“Unless consequences are real, Netanyahu will not end his aggression on Gaza and the West Bank, and will not stop violating international law and threatening the security of the whole region,” says Safadi.
Jordan’s military cooperates closely with Israel on securing their mutual border and on counterterrorism.
