The Jordanian Ministry today condemned the Israeli Knesset’s approval of a draft resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state.
The Ministry affirmed in a statement that this step constitutes a new and serious violation of international law and a further challenge to the international community.
The Ministry’s official spokesman, Sufyan Al-Qudah, said that all decisions and steps issued by Israel, the occupying power, are invalid and must be repealed and do not change the reality and reality of its occupation of the Palestinian territories, and do not affect the continued application of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 relating to the protection of civilians in times of war.
Al-Qudah further stressed that Israel’s continued effort to deny the Palestinians’ inalienable right to their independent and sovereign state along the lines of June 4, 1967, with occupied Jerusalem as its capital, does not bring security and peace in the region, and requires effective international action to deter these actions and stop Israel’s ongoing war against the Palestinians.
He also called for the need to stop the war crimes committed by Israel in the Gaza Strip, the latest of which was the continued targeting of civilians seeking refuge in UNRWA schools and shelter centers
