Jordan welcomes Canada, Malta's intention to recognize Palestinian state
The Ministry described this move as a significant and positive step toward ending the occupation and achieving the two-state solution.
Ambassador Sufyan Qudah, the Ministry's official spokesperson, affirmed the Kingdom's appreciation for the declaration by the Canadian and Maltese prime ministers, which represents a response to international efforts aimed at further recognizing the Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967, lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, based on the two-state solution, in line with international legitimacy resolutions and the Arab Peace Initiative.
Qudah reiterated the Kingdom's firm position in continuing to work with its international partners and brothers to support the Palestinian people's right to freedom, an end to the occupation, self-determination, and the establishment of an independent state on its national soil.

Jordan condemns ‘incitement campaigns' targeting its aid efforts in Gaza
AMMAN — The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has condemned ongoing 'incitement campaigns' targeting the Kingdom and its continued efforts to provide humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. In a statement on Saturday, the ministry said that such campaigns have included attacks on Jordanian embassies and diplomatic missions abroad. The ministry's spokesperson Sufian Qudah reaffirmed Jordan's longstanding and unwavering support for the Palestinian people and their inalienable rights. He stressed that the Kingdom's efforts to end the aggression on Gaza and address the resulting humanitarian crisis would not be deterred by such 'systematic defamation campaigns.' Qudah added that the ministry has formally contacted the foreign ministries of countries where the attacks took place, as well as their ambassadors in Amman, urging them to uphold their responsibilities under the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The Ministry called for full protection of Jordanian missions and their staff. 'The ministry is closely following these incidents with the relevant authorities to ensure that those behind them are held accountable and to prevent further occurrences,' Qudah said.

'Israeli' captive held in Gaza pleads for help, says he's been abandoned
An 'Israeli' captive held by Hamas's Al-Qassam Brigades, Evyatar David, has issued a distress call describing severe health and living conditions inside captivity, warning that his life is in danger. In a video message released Saturday, David said, "I haven't eaten for days, and I don't know what I will eat… I'm getting thinner by the day and in very bad shape." Addressing 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he added: "I feel like I've been abandoned." David stated that his physical condition is deteriorating rapidly, saying, "With each passing day, my body grows weaker… what I'm doing now is digging my own grave with my own hands." His remarks come amid a deadlock in negotiations over a potential prisoner exchange deal between Palestinian resistance factions and the 'Israeli' government. Meanwhile, internal pressure continues to mount on Netanyahu's cabinet as families of captives demand urgent action to bring their loved ones home alive.

Hamas denies disarmament claims
Hamas has denied recent media reports suggesting the group is prepared to disarm, allegedly based on statements by US envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. In an official statement, Hamas asserted that the weapons of the resistance are a legitimate national and legal right as long as the occupation continues, adding that this right is upheld by international conventions and norms. The movement emphasized that disarmament will not be considered unless the full rights of the Palestinian people are restored, chief among them the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.
