Jordanian FM: Israeli occupation “solely” responsible for Mideast escalation

Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said on Sunday that the Israeli occupation was solely responsible for the current escalation in the Middle East with the recent round of bloody aggression on the West Bank fueling the already tenuous situation. Through an X statement, Safadi added that the Israeli occupation was continuing to lie about the aggression against the Palestinians in the West Bank, stressing that the crimes committed by the Israelis was a great threat to the Middle East's security and peace. Jordan is coordinating with countries in the region to take the necessary steps to put a stop to the Israeli aggressive behavior against Palestinians in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and all occupied lands.
