Jordan condemns Israel's bombardment Baptist Hospital in Gaza
In a statement on Sunday, the ministry denounced, 'in the strongest terms', the Israeli airstrike against the hospital, which is said to be the last fully functional hospital in war-torn Strip, as a 'blatant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, as well as a clear breach of the Geneva Convention on the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War of 1949.'
The ministry's spokesperson Sufian Qudah, affirmed the 'Kingdom's absolute rejection and condemnation of the continued Israeli aggression on Gaza, the systematic targeting of civilians and civilian infrastructure, and the destruction of vital facilities that provide essential services to Gazans.'
He also condemned 'Israel's use of starvation and siege as weapons to forcibly displace Palestinians,' warning of the consequences of the Israeli violations and their impact on the security and stability of the region.
Qudah called on the international community to uphold its legal and moral responsibilities to compel Israel to immediately cease its aggression on Gaza, open the designated crossings for the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Strip, and to fulfill the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to establish their independent, sovereign state based on the June 4, 1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.

32 Palestinians killed today in Gaza, including 14 aid seekers
The Civil Defense in Gaza reported that 32 Palestinians were killed on Saturday by "Israeli" fire, including 14 people who were waiting for humanitarian aid, amid ongoing airstrikes and shelling across the enclave. Mahmoud Basal, spokesperson for the Civil Defense, told AFP that five people were killed and others critically wounded when "Israeli" forces opened fire near a humanitarian aid distribution point on Salah al-Din Street, south of Wadi Gaza Bridge in central Gaza. In southern Gaza, Basal confirmed four more fatalities in the At-Tina area near a relief center in southwestern Khan Younis. Three others were killed near the Morag axis, also in southern Khan Younis, while two were shot near the Shakoush aid distribution point in northwestern Rafah. Reports of Palestinians being killed while waiting for food and supplies have become near-daily occurrences since late May, particularly near distribution sites run by the U.S.- and Israeli-backed "Gaza Relief Organization." The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said on Friday that 1,373 Palestinians have been killed since May 27, most by "Israeli" gunfire, while waiting for aid.

Jordan condemns attacks on its diplomatic missions over Gaza aid efforts
Jordan on Saturday strongly condemned a series of incitement campaigns and attacks targeting its diplomatic missions in several countries, linked to its humanitarian role in supporting Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. 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.
