Jordan condemns Israeli aggression on Jenin, calls for protection of Palestinians

AMMAN — Jordan on Thursday strongly condemned the Israeli aggression against the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Sufian Qudah reiterated Jordan’s firm rejection and condemnation of Israel’s repeated violations of international law and humanitarian principles.

Qudah emphasised that such actions constitute a blatant breach of Israel’s obligations as an occupying power under international law, according to a ministry statement. 

He also called on the international community to take urgent and concrete measures to hold Israel accountable for its actions and ensure its adherence to international humanitarian law. 

The official also urged world powers to intervene swiftly to de-escalate the rising tensions in the occupied West Bank, protect Palestinians and prevent further escalation that could undermine regional stability and security.
