The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan reaffirmed its support for the efforts undertaken by the State of Qatar, the Arab Republic of Egypt, and the United States of America to achieve an immediate ceasefire and ensure the delivery of sufficient humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip. Jordan emphasized the importance of implementing the prisoner exchange agreement, which was reached through the efforts of the three countries, in all its phases.
While presiding over the 163rd session of the Council of the Arab League at the ministerial level held on Wednesday at the headquarters of the League in Cairo, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of Jordan Ayman Safadi said: “There is no priority today more important than halting the Israeli aggression on Gaza and ending the killing, destruction, starvation and deprivation of all necessities suffered by our people in the Strip.”
He added that Jordan will continue to work with its Arab brothers and the international community to secure an immediate ceasefire and allow the entry of sufficient humanitarian aid into Gaza.
He stressed that peace cannot be achieved unless the Palestinian people obtain all their legitimate rights, asserting: “An independent, sovereign Palestinian state, with occupied Jerusalem as its capital, must emerge along the June 4, 1967, lines, living in security alongside Israel, in accordance with the Arab Peace Initiative and relevant international resolutions.”
