Safadi: Israeli government 'led by racist extremists' must face sanctions for international law violations

Safadi's statement

"The current Israeli government must face sanctions for its violations of international law", Jordanian Foreign Minister, Ayman Safadi, said during a joint news conference with UN chief, Antonio Guterres, in Amman

Safadi said his country will continue to oppose alleged “Israeli violations of international law,” in the UN.

“We demand an immediate cease-fire and the entry of humanitarian aid,” Safadi added.

Safadi has said that Gaza has become a graveyard, not only for the children, but also for the international law.

Safadi said the massacre and deprivation faced by the children in Gaza are unjustifiable.

He also said that cutting financial contributions to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) amounts to participating in the massacre of Palestinian children.

He further highlighted the vital role of UNRWA for Palestinians and stressed that there is no alternative to the agency.

Israel is weaponizing starvation in Gaza, he said, adding that this catastrophe will not end unless the war stops.

Furthermore, Safadi warned that a planned ground invasion of Rafah, where almost half of the population in Gaza are sheltering, would be catastrophic.
