Safadi: Knesset Decision Legally Void; The West Bank Will Remain Purely Palestinian Land - Jordan News
Safadi: Knesset Decision Legally Void; The West Bank Will Remain Purely Palestinian Land Speaker of the Jordanian House of Representatives, Ahmad Safadi, strongly condemned the proposal approved by the Israeli Knesset on Wednesday, which calls for imposing what is referred to as 'Israeli sovereignty' over the West Bank. اضافة اعلان Safadi asserted that the decision is legally void, violates international laws and resolutions, and constitutes a blatant infringement on the rights of the Palestinian people. He emphasized that it also breaches the Jordanian-Israeli peace treaty, stressing that the West Bank will remain purely Palestinian land despite the schemes of Israeli extremists. In a statement issued by the House of Representatives, Safadi described the Knesset's decision as a prelude to the displacement of the Palestinian people—an outcome that neither Jordan nor the Palestinian people, who remain steadfast in their land and committed to their independent state on their national soil, will ever accept. He added that these Israeli measures represent a flagrant breach of the peace treaty and threaten both regional and global stability and security. Safadi reaffirmed that Jordan, which has long championed peace and believed in it, remains committed to international legitimacy and resolutions that guarantee Palestinian rights. He called for more effective and genuine international action to push forward the two-state solution, end the war on Gaza, and ensure the immediate entry of humanitarian aid into the besieged Strip, which is enduring some of the most horrific acts of violence and starvation in modern history. He also praised the ongoing efforts of the Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) in delivering aid to Gaza—most recently through convoys that entered the Strip today. He likewise acknowledged the JHCO's aid to Syrian communities, as announced today, in light of the recent distressing events in southern Syria. – (Petra)
