At a press conference in Amman with his Brazilian counterpart, Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Al-Safadi accuses Israel of “starving children to death and taking more than 2 million Palestinians hostage.”
Safadi calls the alleged policies “a humanitarian crime driven by extremist ideology and inhuman racism.”
“The Israeli war on Gaza is an aggression that flouts all international laws and during which Israel commits war crimes for which those responsible must face justice,” he says.
Jordan, which has a large Palestinian population, is a leading critic of Israel’s war to topple the Hamas terror group in Gaza, though it maintains close security ties with Israel and has kept their joint border quiet.
Brazil’s Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira calls for a ceasefire, the introduction of more aid into Gaza, and the release of hostages.
Brazil’s president recently compared the war in Gaza to Hitler’s attempts to exterminate the Jews.
