Amman, October 30 - In a passionate appeal for immediate international solidarity, Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi has implored the global community to join hands and swiftly deliver critical humanitarian assistance to the beleaguered Gaza Strip.
Safadi made this urgent plea during high-level discussions held in the capital city of Amman. The meetings saw him engaging with the visiting Foreign Ministers of Cyprus, Constantinos Kombos, and Belgium, Hadja Lahbib. Their focus was on the imperative need to quell the escalating crisis in Gaza. These discussions culminated in a joint statement issued by Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Sunday.
This call to action comes in the wake of Israel's intensified aerial and ground operations directed at the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. These military actions were in response to the October 7th attack by Hamas on Israeli border towns, as reported by the Xinhua news.
During the meetings, Minister Safadi expressed grave concerns about the potential repercussions of the ongoing conflict in Gaza, decrying Israel's actions as a blatant breach of international law. He underscored the significance of building upon a recent resolution passed by the United Nations General Assembly, which calls for an immediate halt to hostilities and the protection of civilians while upholding legal and humanitarian obligations.
Minister Safadi reiterated his unwavering stance that a just and lasting peace, predicated on a two-state solution, remains the only viable path to ensure the safety and harmony of both Palestinians and Israelis. He vehemently denounced the loss of civilian lives on both sides and reaffirmed the importance of upholding universal humanitarian values and safeguarding the lives of innocent civilians.
The call for global humanitarian aid to Gaza reverberates as a vital step towards alleviating the suffering of the region's inhabitants and stabilizing the precarious situation. As international pressure mounts, the world watches closely to see how the global community will respond to this impassioned plea for action.
