- Jordan condemns US ambassador to 'Israel' for suggesting 'Israel' could control the entire Middle East and West Bank.
- Ministry calls remarks a violation of international law and urges adherence to two-state solution and UNSC resolutions.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemned statements by the U.S. ambassador to 'Israel', who claimed it would be acceptable for 'Israel' to control the entire Middle East, including the West Bank.
Spokesperson Fouad Al-Majali rejected the remarks as “reckless and provocative,” saying they violate diplomatic norms, threaten regional sovereignty, breach international law and the United Nations Charter, and contradict President Donald Trump’s stated opposition to annexing the occupied West Bank.
Affirming Palestinian Rights
Al-Majali emphasized that the West Bank, including East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip, remains occupied Palestinian land under international law. He stressed that ending the occupation and establishing a fully independent Palestinian state based on the two-state solution is the only path to just and lasting peace.
Call for Responsible Diplomacy
The ministry urged all parties to focus on stabilizing Gaza and implementing the U.S. peace plan alongside United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803, instead of issuing “irresponsible and legally meaningless” statements that escalate tensions.
