Deploring the humanitarian situation in northern Gaza, Ayman Safadi told Blinken: “We do see ethnic cleansing taking place, and that has got to stop.”He added: “We really stand at the brink of regional war now. The only path to save the region from that is for Israel to stop the aggressions on Gaza, on Lebanon, stop unilateral measures, illegal measures, in the West Bank, that is also pushing the situation to an abyss.”
Jordan was the second Arab country to make peace with Israel. Mr. Blinken saluted the kingdom for its “remarkable leadership role”, especially in working to bring humanitarian aid into Gaza.Published – October 25, 2024 05:00 pm IST
