Jordan condemns attacks on its diplomatic missions over Gaza aid efforts
Ambassador Sufian Qudah, spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, said the "deliberate and systematic" campaigns would not undermine Jordan's long-standing, principled support for the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, nor its continued efforts to end the war on Gaza and prevent further humanitarian catastrophe.
Qudah added that the ministry has formally contacted the foreign ministries of the countries where the attacks took place, as well as ambassadors accredited to the Kingdom, demanding full protection for Jordanian missions and their staff, in line with the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations.
The ministry is also following up with relevant authorities to ensure those responsible are held accountable and that such violations are not repeated.

Israeli FM: We Will Not End Gaza War on Hamas' Terms - Jordan News
Israeli FM: We Will Not End Gaza War on Hamas' Terms Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar asserted Monday that Israel will not end the war in Gaza under conditions set by Hamas, emphasizing that the return of all captives held in the Strip must occur unconditionally. اضافة اعلان Speaking at a press conference, Sa'ar stated: 'Hamas is trying to impose terms aimed at ensuring its continued rule over Gaza—this is categorically unacceptable. We will not conclude the war based on Hamas' demands.' He reiterated Israel's goal of ending the war and securing the release of all captives, while favoring diplomatic solutions over prolonged military conflict. Sa'ar acknowledged ongoing U.S. efforts to develop a post-war framework for Gaza and said that Israel is closely coordinating with Washington on this matter. He noted that the U.S. intends to step up efforts to alleviate the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with active coordination underway. The Israeli minister also criticized positions taken by countries such as France, Canada, and the UK, arguing their actions amounted to 'rewarding Hamas' and prolonging the conflict. He urged these nations to 'understand the consequences of their behavior,' characterizing their recent decisions as indirect support for Hamas. Sa'ar accused the group of terrorizing Palestinian civilians and using them as human shields, reiterating: 'There is no place for Hamas in the future of Gaza unless it disarms and abandons its militant path.' He concluded by affirming Israel's condemnation of terrorism everywhere.

Francesca Albanese loses blue checkmark on X after US sanctions
Francesca Albanese, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories, has lost her "blue check" verification badge on X, formerly Twitter. The removal, which occurred today, marks the first reported instance of a UN official having their verified status removed from a major social media platform due to national sanctions. This action follows a legal appeal sent to X's owner, Elon Musk, by a law firm representing the Geneva-based watchdog UN Watch on July 31, 2025. UN Watch is often described as 'a lobby group with strong ties to Israel', and regulatory denounces what it says is anti-'Israel' sentiment at the UN and UN-sponsored events. The de-verification comes after the US government sanctioned Albanese on July 9, 2025. These sanctions, enacted under Executive Order 14203, include freezing any US-based assets, prohibiting her entry into the United States, and banning US citizens and entities from providing her with goods or services. US Secretary of State Marco Rubio justified the sanctions by stating Albanese had "spewed unabashed antisemitism, expressed support for terrorism, and open contempt for the United States, Israel, and the West," specifically citing her efforts to "prompt the International Criminal Court (ICC) action against US and Israeli officials, companies and executives". Albanese, an Italian human rights lawyer appointed UN Special Rapporteur in May 2022, has been a vocal critic of 'Israel's' actions in Gaza, asserting they amount to genocide and calling for an immediate ceasefire. She recently issued a report identifying US companies aiding Israel's occupation and war in Gaza. In response to the sanctions, Albanese dismissed them as "mafia-style intimidation techniques" and "obscene," reaffirming her commitment to justice and international law. X's policy mandates compliance with trade laws, including US sanctions, stating that individuals or entities on a restricted sanctions list "can't purchase X Premium to keep your verification".
