Jordan slams Netanyahu annexation vow as ‘dangerous escalation’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleJordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi slams Netanyahu’s annexation promise.
In the Arabic statement, Safadi says: “We condemn Israel’s prime minister’s announcement — his intention to annex illegitimate Israeli settlements and apply sovereignty over the Jordan Valley and the northern parts of the Dead Sea — as a dangerous escalation that undermines the foundations of the peace process, and [constitutes] an election move whose price will be the collapse of opportunities to solve the conflict, and will move the region towards more violence and crisis.”
ندين إعلان رئيس وزراء إسرائيل عزمه ضم المستوطنات الإسرائيلية اللاشرعية وفرض السيادة على منطقة غور الاْردن وشمال البحر الميت تصعيدا خطيرا ينسف الأسس التي قامت عليها العملية السلمية وتوظيفا انتخابيا سيكون ثمنه تقويض فرص حل الصراع ودفع المنطقة نحو المزيد من العنف والتأزيم
