AMMAN – Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of
Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi on Wednesday said that Jordan has
presented the
International Court of Justice (ICJ), with a comprehensive case
about the occupation of Palestine, addressing not only the West Bank but also
the attempts to violate the historical and legal status in the
Islamic and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, and the occupation’s attempts to forcibly
displace Palestinians in Jerusalem from their homes, Al-Mamlaka TV reported.

Safadi stated that Jordan's stance is clear
and historically rooted, and its message is firm: advocating for the
rights of Palestinians is the only path to achieving peace. The Minister also reiterated
Jordan's steadfast and clear position on Israel’s war on Gaza, stressing that
there is no retreat from the country's stance, and it will strongly advocate
for it.
Furthermore, he noted that this case,
coordinated with the Palestinian National Authority, may be the most
comprehensive, highlighting His
Majesty King Abdullah’s efforts from day one of
the aggression on Gaza to expose the futility and absurdity of this Israeli
war, affecting not only the Palestinian people but the entire region.
During a meeting with religious leaders from
Jerusalem and Jordan at the Husseiniya Palace on Wednesday, his Majesty
emphasized the necessity of "standing united" in defending Islamic
and Christian holy sites in Jerusalem. His Majesty, accompanied by HRH
Crown Prince Hussein, Prince Ghazi bin Muhammad, Senior Adviser to the King for
Religious and Cultural Affairs, and Personal Envoy of His Majesty, reiterated
Jordan's historical role in safeguarding Islamic and Christian holy sites in
Jerusalem.
The international stance is beginning to shift
regarding the events in Gaza, Safadi noted, which is a crucial development
needed to achieve the goal of ending this aggression, emphasizing that Jordan's
priority is the humanitarian situation and the ability to
deliver aid to Gaza and the West Bank, both suffering from a dangerous escalation.
Safadi stated that His Majesty warned of the
danger of any security approaches post-aggression, reinforcing that any Gaza
approach must be part of a comprehensive strategy, considering
Gaza and the West Bank as one unit.
