Amman, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates on Saturday stressed the need to take “urgent and effective” steps to halt the “dangerous and condemnable” state of escalation, which has claimed the lives of Palestinian and Israeli civilians and threatens to evolve into cycles of violence, for which all will pay the price.
In a statement, the ministry’s official spokesperson, Sinan Majali, said Jordan condemns the attack that targeted civilians in a synagogue in East Jerusalem, as well as all acts of violence on civilians in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Jordan, he noted, condemns violence against civilians in all its forms and stresses the need to respect sanctity of worship places.
In addition, Majali stressed the need to take “immediate” action to prevent the escalating cycle of violence from exacerbating, intensify efforts to restore calm, and halt all unilateral and provocative measures that ignite further escalation and tension.
Majali also stressed the need to stop the “dangerous” deterioration that instills despair and fuels extremism by joining efforts to restore confidence in a “feasible” peace process by resuming “serious and effective” negotiations to achieve a just and comprehensive peace based on the two-state solution to enjoy peace and security.
