Jordan condemns Israeli targeting of journalists in Gaza
AMMAN — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has strongly condemned Israel's 'systematic' targeting of journalists by in Gaza, following the killing of four media professionals in the Strip. In a statement on Sunday, the ministry denounced the killing of Al Jazeera correspondents Anas Al Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh, along with cameramen Ibrahim Al Zaher and Mohammed Noufal. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Sufian Qudah called the incident a 'war crime,' emphasising that targeting journalists constitutes a clear violation of international law, including international humanitarian law and the 1949 Geneva Convention on the protection of civilians during armed conflict. 'These repeated attacks on media personnel are unacceptable and must not go unpunished,' Qudah said, adding that the Kingdom holds the Israeli government fully responsible for the 'deliberate efforts to silence independent reporting from Gaza.' Qudah urged the international community to take immediate action to stop the violence, provide protection for journalists, medical workers, and humanitarian organisations operating in the besieged territory, and to uphold the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, including their right to establish an independent state. He also called for accountability for those responsible for the crimes against civilians and media professionals.

Jordan welcomes Australia's decision to recognise Palestinian statehood
AMMAN — Jordan on Sunday welcomed the announcement by Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese regarding his government's intention to officially recognise the State of Palestine during the upcoming UN General Assembly session in September. A Foreign Ministry statement described the move as a 'significant step in the right direction towards ending the occupation and ensuring the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them the establishment of an independent state based on the two-state solution.' Sufyan Qudah, the ministry's spokesperson, commended the announcement by the Australian prime minister, noting that it aligns with international efforts to broaden recognition of the State of Palestine on the pre-June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with UN resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative. He reaffirmed Jordan's commitment to working alongside Arab nations and international partners to support the Palestinian people's right to freedom, end the occupation, achieve self-determination, and establish their independent state on their national homeland. Albanese said Monday that Australia will recognise a Palestinian state at the UN General Assembly in September. "Until Israeli and Palestinian statehood is permanent, peace can only be temporary," he told reporters, according to AFP. "Australia will recognise the right of the Palestinian people to a state of their own." Several countries, including France, Britian and Canada, have announced plans to recognise statehood for Palestinians since Israel launched a bombardment of Gaza nearly two years ago in response to the Hamas attacks. Albanese added that he had received assurances from the Palestinian Authority that there would be "no role for the terrorists of Hamas in any future Palestinian state,' AFP reported. "There is a moment of opportunity here, and Australia will work with the international community to seize it," he said.
