Under King's Leadership, Jordan Continues Political Efforts to Stop War on Gaza - Jordan News
Under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, Jordan continues its political and humanitarian efforts to end the war on the Gaza Strip and bring an end to the suffering of the Palestinian people amid the ongoing genocide and starvation campaign that has plagued the territory for nearly two years. اضافة اعلان Since the onset of the war, Jordanian diplomacy has remained active in working to halt the Israeli aggression on Gaza, engaging in continuous communication with Arab leaders and international partners to find a resolution that puts an end to the tragedy facing the Palestinian people. Jordan is intensifying regional and international efforts to achieve an immediate ceasefire, deliver humanitarian aid, and revive just political solutions that uphold the rights of the Palestinian people. Shifts in European Positions Former Minister Dr. Hayel Dawood stated that Jordanian diplomacy has played a significant role in supporting the people of Gaza and alleviating the effects of the war on them. He pointed to noticeable changes in the positions of several European countries and international institutions regarding Israel's aggression against Palestinians in Gaza. He added that His Majesty's frequent visits to European capitals and the United States aimed to persuade those governments to pressure Israel to stop its aggression on Gaza and allow the entry of humanitarian aid. 'These efforts have paid off,' he noted, 'as evidenced by the recent changes in the stances of France, the UK, and Germany, which have announced intentions to recognize the State of Palestine in the near future.' He also highlighted His Majesty the King's continued efforts—along with Jordanian diplomacy—in influencing global public opinion and exposing the brutality of the Israeli army in Gaza and the occupied West Bank, as well as uncovering the actions of the Israeli occupation to the world. Dr. Dawood emphasized that the Jordanian position, as expressed by His Majesty King Abdullah II, remains firmly committed to the Palestinian cause and the concerns of the Palestinian people, confronting Israeli aggression through diplomatic means. He stressed that the King enjoys deep respect among Western leaders, who value his wisdom and views. Jordan's Role in Breaking the Siege Dr. Moath Waleed Abu Dalo, a professor of public law and political analyst, said that Jordan, both officially and at the popular level, stands in solidarity with its Palestinian brothers in every crisis they face. He affirmed that Jordan has stood fully by the Palestinians since the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza. He pointed to Jordan's humanitarian role in breaking the siege on Gaza through airdrops of humanitarian and relief aid, in addition to aid convoys and field hospitals sent by the Jordanian Armed Forces, represented by the Arab Army and Royal Medical Services. Abu Dalo also underscored Jordan's political role in calling for an end to the war, halting the killing and displacement, and working with all available means to achieve peaceful solutions through the UN General Assembly and international visits aimed at stopping the aggression. Jordan's Support for the Palestinian Cause Humanitarian relief activist Najoud Al-Daqs affirmed Jordan's political role and the efforts made to end the war and the tragedy of the Palestinian people in Gaza. She stated that Jordan is a key player in the efforts to stop the war and end the suffering of Gaza's residents, in addition to its role in exerting pressure at both the regional and international levels to find lasting political solutions. She added that Jordan has played a vital role through the United Nations and Arab and Islamic alliances in supporting the Palestinian cause and exposing Israeli violations against the Palestinian people in both Gaza and the West Bank. Al-Daqs also highlighted Jordan's ongoing efforts in delivering medical and food aid to the Gaza Strip, whether through airdrops or continuous aid convoys, as part of a relief mission that has not ceased since the start of the Israeli aggression on Gaza. – (Petra)

Germany to start deliveries of two Patriot systems to Ukraine
Germany said on Friday it will soon start delivering two more US-made Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine, as Kyiv faces a growing number of Russian drone and missile attacks. After reaching an agreement with the United States, the German military will deliver additional Patriot launchers in the coming days, and will supply further components in the next two to three months, the defence ministry said in a statement. In return, Germany has agreed with the US Defense Department that it will be the "first country" to receive expedited delivery of new-generation Patriot systems. Germany has already delivered three Patriot systems to Ukraine since 2022. Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said Friday's announcement "shows once again that Germany is by far Ukraine's strongest supporter when it comes to air defence". On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said 31 people had been killed and 159 had been wounded in a Russian air strike in Kyiv the previous day. Five children were among the dead, the youngest two years old.
