The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates expressed its strong condemnation and absolute denunciation of the continued terrorist attacks carried out by settlers against Palestinian citizens in the occupied West Bank. In an official statement, the ministry indicated that the recent attacks targeting several villages and towns in the northern West Bank represent a dangerous escalation that requires a firm international stance, holding Israel, as the occupying power, fully legally responsible for providing protection to civilians and stopping these violations.
For his part, Ambassador Fouad Al-Majali, the official spokesperson for the ministry, affirmed that the Kingdom categorically rejects the escalating pace of systematic settler terrorism against the unarmed Palestinian people. Al-Majali warned that the continuation of these attacks, in conjunction with the ongoing policies of restriction and violations in the occupied territories, creates a volatile environment that portends a comprehensive explosion of the situation, which will necessarily undermine the security and stability of the entire region.
The official spokesperson stressed the need for the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities towards what is happening in the Palestinian territories, and to work immediately to compel the occupation authorities to stop all escalatory measures. He explained that international silence on these practices encourages settlers to continue their crimes, which necessitates effective action to put an end to this cycle of violence that targets the Palestinian presence on its land.
In conclusion of the statement, Amman reiterated its affirmation that the only way to achieve a just and comprehensive peace lies in fulfilling the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, foremost among them the establishment of their independent, sovereign state on the June 4, 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital. The ministry considered that ending the occupation and stopping the attacks is the only guarantee for achieving permanent security and stability in the Middle East, away from policies of oppression and intimidation.
Terrorist attacks by extremist settlers threaten to ignite the situation, endangering the security and stability of the region.
