Jordan Says Israeli Occupation Of Gaza Is ‘Basis Of All Evil’, Calls Policies ‘Extremist, Racist, Inflammatory’
Jordan’s authority has accused Israel of killing innocent people, depriving over 2.3 million Palestinians of water, food and medicine, and attempting to displace them, in ongoing military actions in Gaza.
Jordan’s foreign minister who made this known while speaking with News Agency, Ayman Safadi, on Sunday, described Israel’s ongoing military actions in Gaza as “barbaric aggression”.
According to Arab News, he warned of a potentially dangerous escalation in the region.
“Jordan, with all its capabilities, will counter the Israeli government’s attempts to displace Palestinians inside and outside their homeland,” he said, adding that the kingdom considers attempts to displace people to be a war crime.
A future security-based approach to Gaza, according to Safadi, would entrench the state of oppression, despair and misery that Israel created through its colonial policies before and during the current war, making conflict “the fate of the region.”
He added: “The occupation is the basis of all evil. Any approach that does not aim to end the occupation and fulfill all the rights of the Palestinian people will not achieve security and just peace and will spark more conflicts and wars.”
He said that Jordan would not talk about the day after in Gaza before the stoppage of the war, and without the adoption of a comprehensive plan to fulfill the rights of the Palestinian people.
