Jordan condemns 'Israeli' PM's West Bank incursion

The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemned 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's incursion into the occupied West Bank and his statements from an illegal settlement declaring opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state. The ministry described these actions as a blatant violation of international law and a defiance of global consensus supporting the two-state solution. Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Dr. Sufyan Qudah reaffirmed that 'Israel' has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territories. He stressed Jordan's absolute rejection and firm condemnation of ongoing provocative practices and statements by members of the 'Israeli' government, which entrench occupation and illegal settlement expansion in violation of international law and UN Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolution 2334. He also pointed to the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice affirming the need to end the Israeli occupation and the illegality of annexing occupied Palestinian lands. Qudah warned against the continuation of unilateral 'Israeli' measures aimed at imposing new realities by force and expanding settlements in the occupied West Bank, actions that fuel violence and prolong the war. He called for a clear international stance condemning such policies and warning of their grave consequences for regional security and stability. The spokesperson renewed Jordan's call on the international community to shoulder its legal and moral responsibilities by pressuring 'Israel' to halt its aggression on Gaza, its escalation in the occupied West Bank, and its incitement by officials. He urged the provision of protection for the Palestinian people and the fulfillment of their legitimate rights, including the establishment of an independent, sovereign state on their national soil, alongside accountability for ongoing crimes against them.

Jordan condemns Netanyahu's storming into occupied West Bank

Ammon News - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates on Monday condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli Prime Minister's storming of the occupied West Bank and his statements about preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state from one of the illegal colonial settlements built on occupied Palestinian land, as this is considered as a flagrant violation of international law and a challenge to the international will to support the two-state solution. The Ministry's official spokesperson, Ambassador Sufyan Qudah, stressed that Israel has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territories, affirming the Kingdom's absolute rejection and strong condemnation of the continued provocative practices and statements of the extremists of the Israeli government, which perpetuate the illegal occupation and colonial settlements that violate international law and UN Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolution 2334, which condemns all Israeli measures aimed at changing the demographic composition, character, and status of the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem. Qudah warned against the continued illegal unilateral measures taken by the Israeli government, as well as unilateral statements and actions aimed at imposing new facts on the ground by force. He also warned against the continued implementation of its expansionist plans in the occupied West Bank and its escalation plans in the region, which encourage the continuation of cycles of violence and conflict.
