According to Jordan News Agency, the ministry's official spokesperson, Fouad Majali, affirmed the Kingdom's rejection and condemnation of this declaration, which contravenes international law and resolutions of international legitimacy.

Majali reiterated the Kingdom's rejection of the continued Israeli attacks and incursions into Syrian territory. In this context, he urged the international community to uphold its responsibilities in respecting international law and UN resolutions and compel Israel to cease its provocative and illegal attacks on Syria and end its occupation of any part of its territory.
He noted that the Kingdom affirms its position in supporting Syria in rebuilding on the foundations that guarantee its unity, sovereignty, security, stability, territorial integrity, and its citizens' safety, while preserving the rights of all Syrians.
