Jordan condemns "Israel's" settlement expansion in the West Bank
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemned "Israel's" decision, as the occupying power in the West Bank, to approve the construction of 22 new settlements there. The Ministry called the decision a blatant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, and a clear infringement on the Palestinian people's inalienable right to establish their independent and sovereign state along the June 4, 1967 lines, with occupied Jerusalem as its capital. The official spokesperson for the ministry, Ambassador Dr. Sufyan Qudah, affirmed the Kingdom's absolute rejection and strong condemnation of this decision, which contravenes United Nations Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolution 2334. That resolution condemns all "Israeli" measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character, and status of the occupied Palestinian territory since 1967, including occupied Jerusalem, and confirms that all "Israeli" settlement activities in the occupied Palestinian territory, including Jerusalem, are illegal under international law. It also aligns with the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which affirmed the need to end the Israeli Occupation, the illegality of colonial settlement construction, and the invalidity of all annexation measures concerning occupied Palestinian land. This decision comes as a deliberate disregard for continuous international calls to halt settlement activities and violations in the occupied Palestinian territories. Ambassador Qudah stressed that all "Israeli" actions and decisions in the West Bank are illegal and illegitimate, emphasizing that "Israel" has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian land. He called on the international community to fulfill its legal and moral responsibilities by compelling "Israel", the occupying power, to end its aggression on Gaza and its dangerous escalation in the occupied West Bank, to provide the necessary protection for the Palestinian people, to uphold their legitimate rights in establishing their independent, sovereign state along the June 4, 1967 lines with occupied Jerusalem as its capital, and to put an end to the crimes committed against them and hold those responsible accountable.

Jordan Condemns Far-Right Israeli Minister's Storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque - Jordan News
The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemned the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque / Al-Haram Al-Sharif by Israel's far-right Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir, along with other members of the Israeli government and Knesset, accompanied by large groups of extremist settlers. The incursion coincided with the so-called "Flag March" and was marked by provocative actions that Jordan deems unacceptable violations of the historic and legal status quo and of Israel's obligations as an occupying power. اضافة اعلان In a statement, the Ministry stressed that these repeated violations by extremist ministers do not alter the fundamental reality that East Jerusalem is an occupied territory, and Israel has no sovereignty over it under international law. The Ministry's spokesperson, Ambassador Sufyan Al-Qudah, reiterated Jordan's unequivocal rejection and strong condemnation of the actions by Minister Ben Gvir, members of the Israeli government and Knesset, and extremist settlers, stating that the facilitation of these incursions by Israeli police constitutes a blatant breach of international law and humanitarian law. He emphasized that such actions are part of a systematic attempt to impose new realities on the ground, including the temporal and spatial division of Al-Aqsa Mosque, and serve to escalate tensions, especially amidst Israel's ongoing military campaign in Gaza and increasing aggression in the occupied West Bank. Ambassador Al-Qudah warned of the dangerous repercussions of continued violations and demanded that Israel, as the occupying power, immediately halt all provocative actions by Minister Ben Gvir and extremist settlers. He described these practices as part of a broader policy by Israel's far-right government to escalate violence across Palestinian territories, including incursions into Palestinian cities. He also reaffirmed that Al-Aqsa Mosque, in its entirety of 144 dunums, is a solely Muslim place of worship, and that the Jordanian-run Jerusalem Awqaf Department, under the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs, remains the exclusive legal authority responsible for managing the mosque and regulating access to it.

Jordan strongly condemns Ben Gvir's storming of Al-Aqsa during Jerusalem Flag March
Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates issued a sharp condemnation on Monday following the storming of Al-Aqsa Mosque by far-right 'Israeli' National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, alongside other ministers, Knesset members, and dozens of settlers during the so-called Jerusalem Flag March. In an official statement, the ministry denounced the provocative incursion as a blatant violation of the historical and legal status quo of Al-Aqsa Mosque/Al-Haram Al-Sharif and a breach of 'Israel's' obligations as the occupying power. The ministry stressed that such actions, particularly those led by Ben Gvir, do not alter the fact that East Jerusalem is occupied territory with no 'Israeli' sovereignty over it. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Dr. Sufyan Qudah reiterated Jordan's absolute rejection and strong condemnation of the storming, saying it constituted a grave breach of international law and international humanitarian law. He accused the 'Israeli' government of facilitating repeated settler incursions into Al-Aqsa and attempting to impose new realities on the ground — including dividing the site both spatially and temporally. Qudah warned of the dangerous consequences of continued violations at the holy site, especially amid 'Israel's' intensifying war on Gaza and escalating violence across the occupied West Bank. He demanded that 'Israel', as the occupying power, immediately halt all provocative actions by Ben Gvir and extremist settlers, warning that such acts are part of the far-right government's broader policy of incitement and dangerous escalation in Palestinian cities. Qudah reaffirmed that the entire 144-dunum area of Al-Aqsa Mosque is a holy site reserved solely for Muslim worship. He emphasized that the Jordanian-run Jerusalem Awqaf Department — under the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs — is the sole legal authority responsible for managing the site and regulating entry.
