Jordanian FM: Annexation will be ‘catastrophic,’ make one-state solution inevitable

Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi warns any Israeli steps to annex West Bank territory will be “catastrophic,” end any chance for peace between Israel and the Palestinians, push the region toward further conflict and make a one-state solution inevitable, a statement from Amman’s Foreign Ministry says.

Safadi discussed the matter during a phone call with Spanish counterpart Arancha Gonzalez Laya.

According to the ministry the two agreed to reject any annexation steps by Israel and reviewed steps to build an international front against such a move.
