The ministry described these actions as a blatant violation of international law and a defiance of global consensus supporting the two-state solution.
Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Dr. Sufyan Qudah reaffirmed that 'Israel' has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territories.
He stressed Jordan’s absolute rejection and firm condemnation of ongoing provocative practices and statements by members of the 'Israeli' government, which entrench occupation and illegal settlement expansion in violation of international law and UN Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolution 2334.
He also pointed to the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice affirming the need to end the Israeli occupation and the illegality of annexing occupied Palestinian lands.
Qudah warned against the continuation of unilateral 'Israeli' measures aimed at imposing new realities by force and expanding settlements in the occupied West Bank, actions that fuel violence and prolong the war. He called for a clear international stance condemning such policies and warning of their grave consequences for regional security and stability.
The spokesperson renewed Jordan’s call on the international community to shoulder its legal and moral responsibilities by pressuring 'Israel' to halt its aggression on Gaza, its escalation in the occupied West Bank, and its incitement by officials.
He urged the provision of protection for the Palestinian people and the fulfillment of their legitimate rights, including the establishment of an independent, sovereign state on their national soil, alongside accountability for ongoing crimes against them.
