Foreign Minister Safadi Condemns Israeli Actions at UN Security Council Emergency Session

New york: Minister of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs Ayman Safadi participated in an emergency session of the UN Security Council in New York to discuss Israel's aggression against Qatar. Delivering a strongly worded speech, Safadi condemned Israel's violation in Gaza, the occupied West Bank, and, most recently, its violation of Qatari sovereignty. He urged the international community to take immediate and effective measures to hold Israel accountable for its actions and uphold international law. According to Jordan News Agency, Safadi addressed the Security Council by highlighting the actions of the Israeli government, which he described as being driven by extremism and a disregard for international law. He pointed out the high number of Palestinian casualties in Gaza over the past 23 months, including humanitarian workers and journalists. Safadi accused Israel of weaponizing starvation, leading to a humanitarian crisis in the region. Safadi's statement criticized Israel's continued escalation of violence and expansion of illegal settlements, which, he argued, undermines opportunities for peace and pushes the region into further chaos. He also referenced recent announcements by the Israeli Prime Minister regarding new illegal settlement constructions and the blocking of a Palestinian state. The minister expressed alarm over Israel's recent actions against Qatar, describing the attack on Doha as unprovoked and aggressive. Safadi emphasized Jordan's condemnation of this assault and reiterated Jordan's support for Qatar. He affirmed that Jordan and Qatar share a vision of a secure and stable Middle East, built on a just and lasting peace. Safadi highlighted the Arab Peace Initiative and the international community's support for a two-state solution as pathways to peace. He urged the Security Council to use its authority to apply international law, enforce the UN Charter, and pressure Israel to end its aggression in Gaza. In concluding remarks, Safadi stressed the urgency of holding Israel accountable to preven t further violations of sovereignty and ensure humanitarian relief to Palestinian communities. He called on the international community to act decisively to end the ongoing injustice.
