Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov discussed on Sunday the developments in Syria after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad's regime, and the Gaza Strip, which is groaning under the weight of an Israeli war of extermination.

This came during a phone call that Safadi received from Lavrov, according to a statement by the Jordanian Foreign Ministry, a copy of which was received by Anadolu Agency.

The statement said that the two ministers discussed "developments in Syria, efforts to stop the Israeli aggression on Gaza and end the humanitarian catastrophe that is still worsening as a result of the ongoing aggression."

Safadi stressed that "Jordan stands by the brotherly Syrian people in their efforts to rebuild their homeland through a comprehensive Syrian-Syrian political process led by Syrians that produces a new system that preserves the rights of all Syrians and protects Syria's unity, cohesion, sovereignty, security and stability."

On December 8, Syrian factions took control of the capital, Damascus, ending 61 years of rule by the bloody Baath Party regime and 53 years of rule by the Assad family.

The next day, the leader of the new Syrian administration, Ahmed al-Sharaa, announced that Mohammed al-Bashir had been assigned to head the government, which had been running Idlib for years, to form a new Syrian government to manage the transitional phase.

The Jordanian minister also warned during his call with Lavrov of "the consequences of the continued Israeli aggression on Gaza."

He stressed "the need to reach an immediate and permanent ceasefire and open all crossings to allow the entry of sufficient and immediate humanitarian aid into all parts of the Strip."
