Jordan condemns attacks on its diplomatic missions over Gaza aid efforts

Jordan on Saturday strongly condemned a series of incitement campaigns and attacks targeting its diplomatic missions in several countries, linked to its humanitarian role in supporting Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Ambassador Sufian Qudah, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, said the "deliberate and systematic" campaigns would not undermine Jordan’s long-standing, principled support for the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, nor its continued efforts to end the war on Gaza and prevent further humanitarian catastrophe.

Qudah added that the ministry has formally contacted the foreign ministries of the countries where the attacks took place, as well as ambassadors accredited to the Kingdom, demanding full protection for Jordanian missions and their staff, in line with the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.

The ministry is also following up with relevant authorities to ensure those responsible are held accountable and that such violations are not repeated.

Despite efforts to discredit its role, Jordan remains committed to its humanitarian and political mission in support of the Palestinian people, Qudah reaffirmed.
