Amman: Jordan’s Foreign Ministry Thursday condemned an Israeli minister’s “inflammatory” statements that call for destroying the Palestinian village of Hawara in Nablus.
The ministry spokesperson, Ambassador Sinan Majali, said the calls for violence “portend serious consequences and represent a violation of international humanitarian law.”
Sinan said Jordan calls for the “need” to stop campaigns targeting Palestinians, noting that stopping unilateral actions that undermine the two-state solution and provocative measures that push towards tension and violence is a “necessity” to end deterioration and de-escalate.
He added that Jordan would continue to make every effort to stop the deterioration and find a political horizon that activates the peace process and achieves progress in resolving the conflict based on the two-state solution, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with occupied East Jerusalem as its capital on the lines of June 4, 1967.
