Jordan condemns attacks on its diplomatic missions over Gaza aid efforts
Jordan on Saturday strongly condemned a series of incitement campaigns and attacks targeting its diplomatic missions in several countries, linked to its humanitarian role in supporting Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Ambassador Sufian Qudah, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, said the "deliberate and systematic" campaigns would not undermine Jordan's long-standing, principled support for the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, nor its continued efforts to end the war on Gaza and prevent further humanitarian catastrophe. Qudah added that the ministry has formally contacted the foreign ministries of the countries where the attacks took place, as well as ambassadors accredited to the Kingdom, demanding full protection for Jordanian missions and their staff, in line with the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The ministry is also following up with relevant authorities to ensure those responsible are held accountable and that such violations are not repeated.

'Israeli' captive held in Gaza pleads for help, says he's been abandoned
An 'Israeli' captive held by Hamas's Al-Qassam Brigades, Evyatar David, has issued a distress call describing severe health and living conditions inside captivity, warning that his life is in danger. In a video message released Saturday, David said, "I haven't eaten for days, and I don't know what I will eat… I'm getting thinner by the day and in very bad shape." Addressing 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he added: "I feel like I've been abandoned." David stated that his physical condition is deteriorating rapidly, saying, "With each passing day, my body grows weaker… what I'm doing now is digging my own grave with my own hands." His remarks come amid a deadlock in negotiations over a potential prisoner exchange deal between Palestinian resistance factions and the 'Israeli' government. Meanwhile, internal pressure continues to mount on Netanyahu's cabinet as families of captives demand urgent action to bring their loved ones home alive.

Hamas denies disarmament claims
Hamas has denied recent media reports suggesting the group is prepared to disarm, allegedly based on statements by US envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. In an official statement, Hamas asserted that the weapons of the resistance are a legitimate national and legal right as long as the occupation continues, adding that this right is upheld by international conventions and norms. The movement emphasized that disarmament will not be considered unless the full rights of the Palestinian people are restored, chief among them the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
