Ministry spokesperson Sinan Majali said the calls for
violence "portend serious consequences and represent a violation of
international humanitarian law".
According to Majali, Jordan is calling for an end to
campaigns targeting Palestinians, as halting unilateral actions that undermine
the two-state solution and provocative measures that push towards tension and
violence is a "necessity" to end corrosion and de-escalate.
Jordan will continue to make every effort to stop the
deterioration of the situation and arrive at a political outlook that activates
the
peace process and achieves progress in resolving the conflict based on the
two-state solution, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state with
East Jerusalem as its capital on the June 4, 1967 lines.
Settler rampage in HuwaraLast Sunday, scores of Israeli settlers
torched Palestinian houses and cars and attacked Palestinians in Huwara in the northern West Bank after two settlers were killed by a Palestinian gunman.
According to medics, one Palestinian was killed and nearly 100 other were wounded in what appears to be the worst burst of Israeli settler violence in decades.
The
rampage occurred shortly after the Jordanian government, which hosted talks last Sunday in the Red Sea city of Aqaba, said the two sides had agreed to take steps to de-escalate tensions and would meet again next month ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
