Safadi: Israel is pushing the region toward more conflict and tension.

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said on Friday that Israel is pushing the region toward more conflict and tension, while Arab efforts are underway to achieve security, stability, and peace that guarantees security for all.

This came at the conclusion of an emergency meeting of Arab League foreign ministers in Istanbul, chaired by Safadi, to discuss developments in the region, most notably the Israeli aggression against Iran and its repercussions.

Following the meeting, Safadi told reporters, "There is a clear Arab position, which we have affirmed previously and reiterated today. We must act immediately to end the aggression, and secondly, we must return to negotiations and reach a political solution to the Iranian nuclear issue."

Regarding yesterday's session, Safadi said, "We in the Arab region affirm that Israel is the one pushing the region toward more conflict and tension."

"While we work to achieve security, stability, and peace that guarantees security for all," Safadi said.
