AMMAN: Jordan’s Minister of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs, Ayman Safadi, held separate calls on Saturday with British Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan to discuss the ongoing crisis in Gaza, the situation in the occupied West Bank, and Israel’s recent attack on Qatar.
During the call with Cooper, the ministers emphasized the importance of enhancing cooperation between Jordan and the UK, including in the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, which continues to suffer from an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe worsened by Israeli military action, the Jordan News Agency reported.
They stressed the urgent need to reach a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire and to open all crossings to ensure immediate aid reaches those in need.
Safadi also highlighted the deteriorating situation in the occupied West Bank, citing settlement expansion, land confiscation, and the economic, social, and political blockade imposed on the Palestinian people.
He called on the international community to act swiftly to halt these measures, which undermine the two-state solution and the prospects for a just and lasting peace.
