Jordan condemns 'Israel's' approval of establishing 'voluntary emigration' bureau
Jordan strongly condemned 'Israel's' announcement to establish an agency targeting the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip under the guise of "voluntary departure."
The statement by the Foreign Ministry comes after the approval by 'Israel's' Security Cabinet of the separation of 13 illegal settlement neighborhoods in the West Bank, paving the way for their "legalization" as colonial settlements.
In a statement, the ministry's official spokesperson, Ambassador Dr. Sufyan Al-Qudah, emphasized that all 'Israeli' actions aimed at displacing Palestinians from their land are void and constitute a flagrant violation of international and humanitarian law.
He added that these practices amount to the crime of forced displacement and called on the international community to bear its legal and ethical responsibility to pressure 'Israel' into halting its aggression against Gaza and its targeting of Palestinian presence in the West Bank.
Ambassador Al-Qudah reiterated that the Jordanian government utterly rejects all 'Israeli' actions that violate UN resolutions and international law, particularly Security Council Resolution 2334, which condemns Israel's attempts to alter the demographic makeup of the occupied Palestinian territories since 1967, including East Jerusalem.

‘Selfie yacht' jab backfires on 'Israel' as soldiers' posts resurface
Israeli Occupation's attempt to discredit the humanitarian aid flotilla Madleen by calling it a 'selfie yacht' has drawn sharp backlash online, with users accusing the government of hypocrisy and highlighting 'Israeli' soldiers' own social media behavior during the ongoing war on Gaza. 'Israeli' Foreign Ministry had mocked the Madleen, a boat carrying pro-Palestinian activists and humanitarian aid bound for Gaza, by labeling it the 'selfie yacht,' suggesting it was more of a photo opportunity than a serious mission. The Israeli Navy is currently communicating with the 'selfie yacht'. Using an international civilian communication system, the Israeli Navy has instructed the 'selfie yacht' to change its course due to its approach toward a restricted area. — Israel Foreign Ministry (@IsraelMFA) June 8, 2025 That jab quickly sparked a wave of posts pointing out the irony. In one viral post on X, Assal Rad, a fellow at DAWN, responded with a photograph of 'Israeli' soldiers posing for a selfie in front of rubble in Gaza, captioned 'selfie yacht.' 'Selfie yacht' — Assal Rad (@AssalRad) June 9, 2025 Mitchell Plitnick, president of ReThinking Foreign Policy, also weighed in, sharing similar images and asking, 'The Israeli government calls the humanitarian flotilla, the Madleen 'the selfie yacht'. So what do we call the Israeli army?' The #Israeli government calls the humanitarian flotilla, the #Madleen"the selfie yacht." So what do we call the Israeli army? — Mitchell Plitnick (@MJPlitnick) June 9, 2025 Since the start of the 'Israeli' ground invasion in late 2023, numerous photos and videos have emerged online showing 'Israeli' soldiers smiling, dancing, or making light of the destruction around them, often with Gaza's ruins as the backdrop. Some clips even show soldiers mocking displaced Palestinians, further fueling outrage over the double standard. Critics argue that Israeli Occupation's attempt to delegitimize peaceful aid missions, while its own soldiers document themselves amid devastation, only reinforces perceptions of indifference and insensitivity toward Palestinian suffering.

Madleen continues voyage towards Gaza despite 'Israeli' threats, says ICBSG chief
Defying threats from 'Israeli' authorities, the humanitarian aid flotilla Madleen is continuing its journey toward the Gaza Strip, carrying a symbolic one-ton shipment of aid in an effort to break the ongoing blockade on the besieged Strip. Zaher Birawi, head of the International Committee to Break the Siege on Gaza (ICBSG), told Roya that the freedom activists aboard the Madleen, hailing from seven different countries, remain in high spirits and are determined to deliver a message of solidarity and protest against 'Israel's' continued aggression on Gaza. Birawi said that the Madleen is not carrying any weapons, only humanitarian support and a message of hope. He described the 'Israeli' threats against the vessel as a blatant violation of international law, especially since six of the activists on board are French citizens. He added that the committee has issued warnings against any attack or interference with the ship or its passengers, and has successfully launched a global petition in solidarity with the mission, which collected over 1.15 million signatures in just two days. 'This ship is not just transporting aid, it is a cry for justice and a call to the world to act against the Israeli aggression and the unjust blockade imposed on over two million people in Gaza,' Birawi told Roya. He noted that 'Israel' is increasingly sensitive to its global image, which has been further tarnished by its ongoing military actions. Any move against the Madleen, he warned, could negatively impact Tel Aviv's relations with several countries. Birawi suggested that 'Israel' might opt to intercept the ship and redirect it to the port of Ashdod, followed by the deportation of the activists to their respective countries; rather than engaging in direct military escalation.
