AMMAN — Deputy Prime Minister and Minister
of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates,
Ayman Safadi, said on Monday that the
Israeli occupation forces’ attack on the funeral of Palestinian journalist
Shereen Abu Akleh on May 13 is an “inhumane behavior that cannot be imagined,”
Al-Mamlaka TV reported.

During his participation in a dialogue session on
the Middle East region, on the sidelines of the
World Economic Forum at Davos,
Switzerland, Safadi explained that the killing of the Palestinian-American
journalist Abu Akleh “is a crime that should have resonated widely in the world
because she was doing her job.”
He renewed his call for a “comprehensive
investigation to help ensure that the killers are held responsible,” noting
that Abu Akleh’s death was a “tragic accident.”
“This is one of many incidents. There were dozens of
Palestinians who were killed in clashes in the occupied territories. There is
certainly no political horizon for resolving the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This kills hope, and this allows frustration to overspill and radicals to
become empowered everywhere,” Safadi said.
“The Palestinian crisis has been going on for
decades, and the Charter of the United Nations and international laws have been
violated for many years,” noting that “the crises in Syria, Libya and Yemen
suffer from policy management failures,” he added.
Safadi stated that “the issue of refugees has become
one of the forgotten realities unless the refugees are
Ukrainians,” but he
added that “Ukrainian refugees should be given the assistance they deserve, and
no refugee should be living in bitterness and destitution.”
Safadi said that the international system “has
proven to be fragile and vulnerable to any crisis.” He called for “action in a
holistic manner.”
“I will say that the world has once again proven that the
international system is fragile, and that any crisis that occurs anywhere in
the world goes far or goes beyond its neighborhood, and this is something we
have been learning for decades,” he concluded.
