Jordan Condemns Settler Terror Attacks Against Palestinians - Jordan News

Jordan News6 days ago
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates strongly condemned the terrorist attacks carried out by Israeli settlers against Palestinians, most recently the assault on the village of Kafr Malik, east of Ramallah, which resulted in the killing of three Palestinians and the injury of others. The Ministry held Israel, as the occupying power, responsible for these attacks. اضافة اعلان Ministry spokesperson Ambassador Dr. Sufian Qudah affirmed Jordan's absolute rejection of these assaults and the escalating settler terrorism against the Palestinian people, especially amid the ongoing and dangerous Israeli escalation in the occupied Palestinian territories since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza. He emphasized that the attacks committed by settlers in the occupied West Bank are a direct result of Israeli government policies that fuel violence, stressing that the absence of accountability encourages settlers to commit more crimes against Palestinians.
Qudah also underscored the urgent need to immediately end the aggression on Gaza, reach a permanent ceasefire agreement, and ensure the immediate entry of humanitarian aid into the Strip—currently facing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe—through relevant United Nations agencies. (Petra)

Hamas open to Gaza truce but rejects terms of US proposal: Report

Hamas said Wednesday it is open to reaching a ceasefire agreement with 'Israel', but stopped short of accepting the latest US-backed proposal unveiled by President Donald Trump, reiterating its demand that any deal must guarantee a complete end to the war in Gaza, according to an AP report. The group's statement came just hours after Trump announced that 'Israel' had agreed to the terms of a new 60-day ceasefire and urged Hamas to accept the deal 'before conditions worsen.' Trump added that the ceasefire period would be used to work toward ending the war, a condition 'Israel' has so far rejected unless Hamas is defeated. Speaking to the press, Hamas spokesperson Taher al-Nunu said the group is 'ready and serious regarding reaching an agreement,' but emphasized that Hamas would only accept 'any initiative that clearly leads to the complete end to the war.' A Hamas delegation is expected to meet with Qatari and Egyptian mediators in Cairo on Wednesday to discuss the proposal, according to an Egyptian official who spoke on condition of anonymity. The latest ceasefire plan reportedly includes a partial 'Israeli' withdrawal from Gaza and a significant increase in humanitarian aid. According to an 'Israeli' official familiar with the proposal, the mediators, along with the US, would provide assurances that negotiations toward ending the war would take place, though 'Israel' is not formally committing to that outcome as part of the deal. Details on the potential captive release remain unclear, but earlier proposals called for around 10 captives to be freed during the initial stage. 'Israel' has not officially commented on Trump's remarks. However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to visit the White House on Monday for talks with Trump, following a recent visit by Netanyahu's adviser Ron Dermer for high-level discussions with US officials on Gaza, Iran, and regional security. Since the war began in October 2023, repeated ceasefire initiatives have failed to yield lasting results, with both sides sticking to conditions the other has so far refused to meet. While Trump's renewed push adds diplomatic weight, Hamas' insistence on a full end to hostilities suggests significant hurdles remain.

Hamas orders Gaza clan leader 'Yasser Abu Shabab' to surrender, accuses him of treason

Gaza's Revolutionary Court has issued a 10-day deadline for a man accused of serious national security offenses to turn himself in, warning that failure to do so will result in a trial in absentia. The court identified the suspect as Yasser Jihad Mansour Abu Shabab, born February 27, 1990, and residing in Rafah. In a formal statement released Wednesday, the court announced that Abu Shabab faces the following charges: Treason and collaboration with hostile entities, in violation of Article 131 Forming an armed gang, under Article 176 Armed insurrection, as per Article 168 The ruling stated that the accused has until July 12, 2025, to surrender to the competent authorities for prosecution. If he fails to comply, he will be declared a fugitive and tried in absentia, the court stated. Authorities also warned that anyone found harboring or concealing Abu Shabab would be considered complicit in aiding a fugitive and subject to legal consequences. Shortly after the court's announcement, a statement was released by Abu Shabab's supporters in a post on the Facebook page that usually carried the group's announcements, denouncing the charges as politically motivated and rejecting the authority of Hamas' judiciary. 'Brother Yasser Abu Shabab is safe and will return soon with major national projects aimed at justice, dignity, and service to our people,' the statement said. It dismissed the court as a 'theatrical farce issuing orders from hideouts in hospitals and schools,' accusing Hamas of using the judiciary to suppress dissent. 'These illegitimate courts are tools of repression with no popular legitimacy,' the statement continued. 'They should prosecute those responsible for dragging our people into the catastrophe of October 7, leading to famine and the attempted erasure of our cause.' The message also called on Hamas to hold its own members accountable for corruption and abuses since its 2007 takeover of Gaza, pointing to exploitative financial practices, mismanagement of aid, and sheltering of armed gangs. Hamas has not responded publicly to the statement. Broader controversy: Alleged coordination with 'Israel' The charges come amid heightened controversy following a rare public admission by 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who previously claimed that 'Israel' has 'activated' certain Palestinian clans in Gaza to counter Hamas. While Netanyahu offered few details, an 'Israeli' official later confirmed the move was directed at supporting the Popular Forces, the very group led by Abu Shabab. According to reports, the Popular Forces have been active in 'Israeli'-controlled zones of Rafah, helping secure food convoys run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a body tied to the ongoing humanitarian aid efforts in southern Gaza. However, the group has also been accused by aid workers and Palestinian officials of attacking and looting those very shipments. Nahed Sheheiber, head of Gaza's private transport union, previously accused Abu Shabab's supporters of repeated attacks on aid trucks. 'The ones who looted aid are now the ones protecting it,' he said. As a response to these allegations, the Abu Shabab family itself has previously disavowed Yasser Abu Shabab, saying he and his followers no longer represent them and denouncing his alleged ties with the 'Israeli' military.

'Israeli' army arrests ‘Iranian cell' in southern Syria

'Israeli' army announced on Wednesday that it arrested what it described as an "Iranian cell" during a special military operation carried out last night in southern Syria, in cooperation with field intelligence units. According to the army, forces from Brigade 474 of the 210th Division conducted the operation in the Umm Al-Luqas and Ain Al-Basali areas, targeting a group of militants reportedly mobilized by Iran. The operation involved field investigators from Unit 504, which specializes in intelligence gathering. The army stated that the operation was based on intelligence collected over recent weeks, resulting in the arrest of several cell members and the seizure of weapons and hand grenades at the targeted site. The 'Israeli' military emphasized it will continue efforts to prevent the establishment of what it called "terrorist entities" on Syrian territory, stressing that these operations aim to protect the security of 'Israeli' residents, particularly those living in the Golan Heights.
