Jordan Condemns Israeli Law Banning Diplomatic Missions in East Jerusalem
The Ministry of Foreign and Expatriates condemned the Israeli Knesset's recent approval of a law that obstructs the establishment of diplomatic missions for the State of Palestine in occupied East Jerusalem.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, the ministry said that all Israeli actions aimed at altering the demographic composition, character, and status of the occupied Palestinian territories, particularly East Jerusalem, are deemed null and void, lacking any legal validity.
Official spokesperson for the ministry, Sufian Qudah, underscored the need for Israel, as the occupying power, to cease all ongoing violations and breaches of the historical and legal status quo in occupied Jerusalem. He called for an end to the policy of imposing new facts on the ground amid Israel's continued aggression in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, along with escalating incursions and attacks on Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
Qudah emphasized that Israeli attempts to annex occupied Jerusalem violate international law, United Nations Security Council resolutions, and the recent advisory opinion from the International Court of Justice. He reiterated that the Israeli presence in Gaza and the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, constitutes illegal occupation that must be resolved, advocating for a two-state solution that establishes an independent and sovereign Palestinian state along the borders of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
He renewed his appeal to the international community, particularly the Security Council, to adopt a clear and firm stance against these violations and to take action to halt them.

Abu Obaida says Hamas ready to deliver aid to 'Israeli' captives with conditions
Abu Obaida, spokesperson for Hamas' military wing Al-Qassam Brigades, said Sunday the Palestinian group is ready to cooperate with the Red Cross to deliver food and medicine to 'Israeli' captives in Gaza. In a statement by Abu Obaida on his Telegram channel, he said Hamas would agree to the deliveries on two conditions: 'The natural and permanent opening of humanitarian corridors to allow food and medicine to reach all people in Gaza, and a halt to all occupation air sorties during the times aid packages are delivered to the prisoners.' Abu Obaida added that the Al-Qassam Brigades are not intentionally starving the prisoners. The captives "eat what our mujahideen and all our people eat, and they will not get a special privilege in light of the crime of starvation and siege,' he said. Earlier today, 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu requested the help of the International Committee of the Red Cross on Sunday to deliver food and medical assistance to 'Israeli' captives still held in Gaza, his office said in a statement. "Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with the head of the Red Cross delegation in our region, Julien Lerisson, and requested his involvement in providing food to our hostages and providing them with immediate medical treatment,' the statement read. The request came days after Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) released videos of two 'Israeli' captives held in Gaza appearing emaciated.

Three 'Israeli' soldiers injured in military vehicle crash near Gaza border
Hebrew media reported that three 'Israeli' soldiers were injured on Sunday after a military vehicle overturned near the Kerem Shalom crossing in southern Gaza. Separately, more than 600 former 'Israeli' security officials sent a letter to US President Donald Trump, urging him to pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza. Among those 600 officials are former top 'Israeli' security officials, ex-Mossad chief Tamir Pardo, ex-Shin Bet chief Ami Ayalon, and former deputy IOF chief Matan Vilnai. In the letter, the officials argued that military objectives have largely been achieved, and that further goals, particularly returning 'Israeli' captives, can only be reached through negotiations. They urged Trump to help end the war and support a regional coalition to stabilize Gaza, led by Egypt, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and a reformed Palestinian Authority. Meanwhile, Palestinian medical sources reported that 79 people have been killed by 'Israeli' fire since dawn Sunday, including 41 individuals who were attempting to receive humanitarian aid.
