Lower House Speaker Hails International Crackdown on Israeli Settlement Goods and Policies

Amman: Lower House Speaker Mazen Qadi commended the "growing" international action against illegal Israeli policies in the occupied Palestinian territories on Wednesday.

According to Jordan News Agency, Qadi praised the decision by 12 countries to impose restrictions on Israeli settlement goods and services, describing the move as an "explicit rejection of Israel's unilateral policies on the ground." He emphasized that such measures are consistent with international law and align with UN Security Council Resolution 2334.

In a statement from the Lower House, Qadi remarked, "Real peace hinges on ending the occupation and securing an independent Palestinian state." He also urged action against settlement expansion, land confiscation, and settler violence, labeling them as "systematic" threats to the two-state solution.

Voicing Jordan's position under His Majesty King Abdullah II, Qadi reaffirmed the Kingdom's commitment to diplomatic and legal efforts to defend Palestinian rights, protect Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, and counteract Israeli escalation in the occupied West Bank, as well as the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

He called upon the global community to move beyond verbal condemnation and implement concrete measures against the Israeli government, warning that continued violations will only drag the region into deeper conflict.
