Jordan condemns ‘Israeli' Knesset vote backing West Bank sovereignty
Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemned the 'Israeli' Knesset's vote in favor of a statement supporting 'Israeli' sovereignty over the occupied West Bank and Jordan Valley, calling it a blatant violation of international law and a serious undermining of the two-state solution. In a statement, the ministry said the move poses a direct threat to the Palestinian people's right to establish an independent, sovereign state on the 1967 borders with occupied Jerusalem as its capital, reaffirming that 'Israel' has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territories. Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Sufian Qudah reiterated Jordan's firm rejection of all 'Israeli' attempts to impose control over the West Bank, describing such actions as a clear breach of international law and UN Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolution 2334, which denounces all measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character, and status of the occupied Palestinian territories since 1967, including East Jerusalem. Qudah also pointed to the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, which confirmed the illegality of the 'Israeli' occupation, adding that settlement construction and annexation efforts in the West Bank are null and void under international law.

Foreign Ministry: Appeals Do Not Exempt the International Community from Its Responsibility to End Famine and Aggression
Foreign Ministry: Appeals Do Not Exempt the International Community from Its Responsibility to End Famine and Aggression The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates stressed on Tuesday that international complacency in the face of genocide, forced displacement, and annexation carried out by the Israeli occupation authorities against the Palestinian people has become a silent cover for these violations and encourages their continuation and escalation. The Ministry pointed to the worsening catastrophic conditions in the Gaza Strip and the ongoing settler terrorism against Palestinians, particularly in the towns of Beitin and Masafer Yatta. اضافة اعلان In its statement, the Ministry affirmed that the responsibility of the international community does not end at merely describing the crimes and violations, but rather requires immediate and binding measures to compel the occupation to halt its aggression and comply with international law — including the protection of Palestinian civilians and the guarantee of their political and human rights. The Ministry called for a firm international response that translates repeated positions and condemnations into concrete actions to stop the ongoing acts of genocide and annexation. It warned that the failure of the international community to fulfill its responsibilities paves the way for the spread of the 'law of the jungle' at the expense of international legitimacy. The statement concluded by emphasizing that the world's silence cannot be considered neutrality, but rather an indirect participation in the continuation of the suffering and humanitarian catastrophe facing the Palestinian people. — (WAFA)

Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Zionist aggression on Hodeida reflects criminal entity's failure in Yemen
Sana'a - Saba: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned in the strongest terms the barbaric Zionist entity's aggression on the port of Hodeidah and its civilian facilities. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (Saba), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered the Zionist aggression on the port of Hodeida an expression of its deep hatred for the Yemeni people's steadfast position against the crimes of genocide and starvation committed by the criminal entity, which is affirmed every week through the millions-strong rallies called for by the leader of the revolution, Sayyed Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Houthi. The Ministry affirmed that the continued aggression on the port of Hodeidah represents a flagrant and blatant violation of Yemen's sovereignty, stability, and territorial integrity, as well as of the United Nations Charter, international law, and all international norms, charters, and laws. It indicated that the repeated aggression on the civilian port of Hodeida reflects the continued failure of the usurping entity and its failure to achieve any noteworthy accomplishment in Yemen, which has humiliated the entity. The statement pointed out that the Zionist aggression against Yemen will only strengthen Yemen and the Yemeni people's determination to continue supporting Gaza, which is being subjected to the most heinous crime of genocide in human history and is being slaughtered daily, vein to vein, amidst shameful Arab and Islamic international silence. This silence has encouraged the entity to trample on all human values and international laws and commit the most heinous crimes that are shameful to humanity and will remain a stain of shame on the foreheads of all those who colluded with or betrayed Gaza. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs renewed its call to the international community, particularly the Security Council, to break its silence and condemn the blatant Zionist aggression against Yemen, as well as to end the brutal crimes of genocide and starvation perpetrated by the Zionist entity in Gaza.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs Condemns UN Envoy's Statement on Issuing New Currency
Sana'a - Saba: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates has condemned the statement issued by the UN Secretary-General's Special Envoy to Yemen regarding the issuance of new currency. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs affirmed that the UN envoy's statement once again demonstrates his absolute bias toward the countries of aggression and their mercenaries, and his departure from the neutral role entrusted to him as a mediator. The statement explained that the Central Bank in Sana'a issued the new currency based on a financial and professional study, considering it a replacement for damaged banknotes, without causing any monetary or economic consequences. It noted that this emergency decision came after negotiations led by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on this matter reached a dead end due to the obstinacy, stalling, and lack of seriousness by the countries of aggression and the mercenary government — even after ten years of daily suffering endured by the Yemeni people due to the use of the old currency. The statement added that Sana'a had agreed to the proposal to form a joint economic committee to manage national resources and deposit revenues into a special account designated for salary payments. This initiative could have resolved all related issues; however, the committee never materialized due to the other party's lack of cooperation. Yet, the UN envoy did not express concern over this matter. The Ministry stressed that the UN envoy's recent statement is unacceptable, as it aligns with those issued by some of the aggressor countries, notably the United States, the United Kingdom, and France. The envoy was reminded that the countries of aggression and their mercenaries launched a fierce economic war on Yemen alongside their military campaign, taking numerous unilateral economic measures that harmed the Yemeni people — including the printing of billions in unbacked currency and other actions that should have been the focus of criticism by the UN envoy. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that Sana'a's efforts to alleviate the suffering of the Yemeni people should be acknowledged and appreciated. It affirmed that the time has come to end the aggression and blockade imposed on the Yemeni people, ease their suffering, and allow them to live in peace.
