TEL AVIV — After having reported that the Israeli government
is considering not extending the water agreement with Jordan on Thursday, the
Israeli Broadcasting Authority (IBA) deleted its news item in an attempt to
retract its statement.

The IBA said in its deleted news, "The
Ministry of Energy is studying not renewing the water agreement with Jordan after the
criticism of Minister Ayman Al-Safadi of Israel.”
Safadi participated in a meeting of the UN Security Council
on the Middle East and the Palestinian issue in New York on Wednesday.
“Israel mocks international law,” Safadi stated. “And the
Security Council has not yet requested a ceasefire, and does not impose the
implementation of its resolutions that demand the delivery of food to the
hungry, medicine to the sick and injured, and anesthesia to the children
undergoing surgery as a result of their injuries from the Israeli random
bombing of homes, schools, hospitals, mosques, churches, and shelters.”
Safadi addressed the Security Council, saying, “Stop the
massacres, every day that passes without ending the aggression means more
innocent lives being lost as a result of the Israeli aggression, hunger, and disease, and
Israel is working to undermine the two-state solution and challenge you all
openly.”
Safadi said in his speech that the Israeli aggression on
Gaza has been going on for too long, and the massacres have claimed many, many
lives, pointing to 109 days of atrocities, more than 25,000 innocent people
have lost their lives, and thousands of children are still under the rubble.
He added that “mothers and fathers have no power and they
watch their sons and daughters die of pain and hunger, and the people carry the
remains of their families in plastic bags.”
