Safadi: Jordan Will Not Stop Supporting Our People in Gaza - Jordan News
Speaker of the Jordanian House of Representatives, Ahmad Safadi, declared that the world is silently witnessing some of the most horrific crimes in history—killings and starvation in Gaza—that expose the brutal face of the occupying power and violate all principles of humanity and international law. اضافة اعلان His remarks came on Monday during his sponsorship of a workshop titled "Legal Frameworks for Climate Change and the Energy Transition in Jordan", organized by the Jordanian Masarat Center for Development and Progress. Safadi emphasized that Jordan, under the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, will remain firmly aligned with the Palestinian cause and will continue its support in delivering aid to the people of Gaza. He affirmed Jordan's commitment to intensifying efforts to stop the war and its rejection of any unilateral actions in the West Bank, warning that continued aggression could drag the region into chaos. On the workshop's climate-related themes, Safadi said that Jordan, under royal leadership, is committed to a clear vision for a greener future, affirming that legislation is the cornerstone of this transition. Parliament, he noted, is responsible for developing laws that meet evolving climate needs and serve future generations. He pointed out that climate change is a tangible reality that impacts natural resources, food and water security, public health, and the national economy. It increases pressure on essential resources—especially water and energy—which are critical sectors for a country like Jordan that faces complex environmental and economic challenges. Despite limited resources, he stated, Jordan has always been at the forefront of adopting a balanced and participatory approach to climate and energy issues. He added that transitioning in the energy sector is not just about moving from traditional to clean energy sources, but also about creating a comprehensive legislative system that encourages investment, provides incentives, ensures fairness, and achieves both energy and economic security. Safadi stressed the need to strengthen cooperation between the legislative and executive branches, and highlighted the importance of involving civil society, the private sector, universities, and research institutions to ensure realistic and actionable policy-making. He concluded by affirming that tackling climate change requires more than policies and intentions—it demands clear, flexible, and enforceable legislation that includes incentives and engages all sectors of society, especially youth and women. For his part, Talal Ghunaimat, Executive Director of the Jordanian Masarat Foundation, said that climate change is now closely linked to development crises and social justice, placing a greater responsibility on parliamentarians to understand these challenges and craft solutions rooted in human rights and dignity for vulnerable communities. Ghunaimat added that climate justice requires bold parliamentary discourse that challenges unfair policies and proposes empowering, equitable alternatives. A truly fair environmental future, he stressed, can only be achieved through effective political and social partnerships. Meanwhile, Dina Kasbi, Program Director at the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, stated that climate change has evolved into both a humanitarian and political issue, calling for an integrated legislative response. She added that strengthening the ability of parliamentarians to analyze environmental policies is one of the foundation's key areas of work, as it plays a crucial role in drafting just, responsive legislation. At the close of the first day of the workshop, Ghunaimat expressed gratitude to Speaker Safadi for his support, stating that the path to real environmental transformation does not lie in conferences or slogans alone—but in institutional action and partnerships with international allies, all in the pursuit of a future that leaves no one behind.

UN leaders urge end to Israeli Occupation, preserve two-state solution
The United Nations conference on a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian issue, co-chaired by Saudi Arabia and France, has brought together global leaders to mark a decisive turning point in the quest for peace and justice. French Foreign Minister emphasized the urgent need to move beyond merely ending the war in Gaza toward fully halting the Israeli Occupation's aggression. He condemned the targeting of children and women, especially those seeking humanitarian aid, calling it unacceptable to the international community. France has launched an unstoppable political momentum aimed at achieving a lasting political solution in the Middle East. The minister stressed that the ongoing war and suffering must end immediately, urging the establishment of a permanent ceasefire in Gaza to restore peace and stability. France also called for 'concrete measures' to preserve the possibility of a viable Palestinian state. United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres echoed these concerns, warning that the region has reached a breaking point, with the two-state solution now more distant than ever. He underscored the urgency of achieving this solution to secure lasting peace. Addressing the war in Gaza, Guterres declared that the devastation 'cannot be justified under any circumstances,' adding that 'the annihilation of Gaza in front of the eyes of the world is unacceptable and must stop immediately.' He condemned the wholesale destruction as intolerable and demanded an immediate halt to such actions. Guterres also criticized the Israeli Occupation's push to annex the West Bank, along with the starvation, killing, and forced displacement of Palestinian civilians, stating, 'These practices must come to an end.' He reaffirmed that the two-state solution remains the only internationally recognized framework rooted in international law and supported by the UN General Assembly. Brazil's Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira, co-chair of Working Group Seven at the conference, highlighted the importance of international law in addressing the occupation. Referring to last year's advisory opinion by the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Vieira pointed to clear guidelines obliging states not to recognize the illegal situation created by Israel's presence in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem. Vieira urged the international community to differentiate in all dealings with "Israel" between its internationally recognized territory and the occupied Palestinian land. He called on states to refrain from any actions that might aid or contribute to maintaining the occupation and stressed the need to uphold the Palestinian people's right to self-determination.

25 Aid Trucks Enter Gaza as Work Continues to Prepare 60 More - Jordan News
A total of 25 humanitarian aid trucks have entered the besieged Gaza Strip as part of Jordan's ongoing relief efforts, according to Hussein Shibli, Secretary-General of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO). اضافة اعلان Shibli stated on Monday that 25 out of an intended 60 trucks have crossed into Gaza, noting ongoing Israeli obstacles and settler attacks that continue to hinder aid delivery. He confirmed that the organization is currently preparing a new convoy of 60 trucks, part of a larger plan to send 180 trucks of aid to Gaza this week. Speaking to Al Mamlaka TV, Shibli explained that diplomatic efforts are underway with Israeli authorities to coordinate the entry of as many trucks as possible into the strip. This latest convoy is part of Jordan's continuous efforts—led by the government and supported by the people—to stand by the Palestinian people and deliver urgent relief, especially amid a dire shortage of essential supplies caused by the ongoing blockade. On Sunday, the Jordan Armed Forces – Arab Army conducted three airdrops of humanitarian and food aid over Gaza, one of which was carried out in cooperation with the United Arab Emirates. These airdrops, targeting multiple locations across the strip, are part of Jordan's sustained efforts in collaboration with regional and international partners, as well as humanitarian organizations, and are coordinated by the JHCO. The aim is to alleviate suffering and support Gaza's residents in coping with the hardships caused by the war. While airdrops offer a critical way to deliver specialized aid swiftly to areas that are difficult to access by land, they are not a replacement for land-based aid. Ground convoys remain the primary, most effective, and prioritized method for delivering humanitarian assistance to Gaza. Jordan continues to carry out its humanitarian and relief missions for the people of Gaza amid the escalating humanitarian disaster caused by the ongoing Israeli aggression since October 2023.
