Al-Safadi: The Palestinians' stability on their land is a Jordanian constant that has not and will not change

Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi stressed today, Sunday, that the stability of the Palestinians on their land is a Jordanian constant that has not changed and will not change.


This came in press statements, after his meeting with the Acting Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, Senior Coordinator for Humanitarian Affairs and Reconstruction in Gaza, Sigrid Kaag.


Safadi and Kach discussed efforts to consolidate the ceasefire in Gaza and bring in immediate and sufficient aid to confront the humanitarian disaster caused by the Israeli aggression on the Strip.


Safadi stressed the need to combine all efforts to establish a ceasefire and ensure the delivery of aid to all parts of the Gaza Strip.


Safadi also stressed that Jordan is continuing its efforts in coordination with its brothers and partners in the region, the United States, Europe and the rest of the influential countries in the international community, in order to launch a plan to implement the two-state solution that embodies the independent, sovereign Palestinian state on the lines of June 4, 1967, with East Jerusalem as its capital, to live in security and peace alongside Israel as the only way to achieve a just and comprehensive peace.


Safadi and Kach stressed the continuation of cooperation between Jordan and the United Nations in bringing aid into Gaza and achieving just peace, in accordance with the approved references, international law and international legitimacy resolutions.


In press statements after the meeting, Safadi said that he and the UN envoy held extensive talks that focused on joint efforts to consolidate the ceasefire in Gaza and to ensure the entry of immediate and sufficient humanitarian aid into the Strip, and that Jordan and the United Nations agree that this aid must flow sufficiently, immediately and permanently to confront the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza.


Safadi pointed out that the talks also focused on efforts to achieve a just and comprehensive peace, the only way to which is the embodiment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state on Palestinian national soil based on the two-state solution on the lines of June 4, 1967, with occupied Jerusalem as its capital.


He added: "I look forward to working with Kaag, who has just assumed her new duties, in addition to her previous duties as Humanitarian Coordinator. We agreed to activate our cooperation to bring in aid, including through Jordan, which we are proud to have played a role in and will continue to do, under the directives of King Abdullah II, to bring in the greatest amount of aid."


He added: "We are now in the stage of confirmation and work to ensure the stability of the ceasefire, and we will work with all our brothers in the region and our partners in the international community to advance with clear steps, and according to effective mechanisms to achieve a just and lasting peace."


Safadi said: "We in the Kingdom continue our engagement with everyone in order to achieve this peace, which constitutes a strategic Jordanian choice and a necessity for security and stability in the region."


He stressed that Jordan works "according to our constants that everyone knows: that the solution to the Palestinian issue is in Palestine; that Jordan is for Jordanians, and that Palestine is for the Palestinians; and that we all want to achieve security, stability, and peace in the region, and that the path to this security, stability, and peace is to fulfill the rights of the Palestinian people, so that the independent, sovereign Palestinian state can live in security and peace alongside Israel according to the two-state solution and based on international law, international legitimacy resolutions, and approved references."


Safadi stressed that "our constants in the Kingdom are clear. Keeping the Palestinians on their land is a Jordanian constant that has not changed and will not change. Hence our ongoing efforts to rebuild Gaza as well, until the living conditions that the Palestinian people deserve are provided after all this suffering, after all this destruction, and after all this killing."


He continued: “Our position that the two-state solution is the way to achieve peace is fixed and unchangeable. Our rejection of displacement is fixed and unchangeable. This is not only a fixed and steadfast position from which the Kingdom cannot deviate, but it is also a necessity in order to achieve the security, stability and peace that we all want, because resolving the Palestinian issue on just foundations that guarantee the rights of the Palestinian people is the way to achieve the security and stability that the region has been deprived of and which constitutes a right for all the peoples of the region.”


He stressed that "the peace that we want, that the region deserves, and that guarantees security and stability is the peace that peoples accept, that fulfills peoples' rights, and that specifically fulfills the right of the Palestinian people to live in freedom and dignity on their Palestinian national soil."


Safadi said: "The priority now is to consolidate the ceasefire, bring in aid, alleviate the suffering of our people in Gaza, and then launch a joint effort to achieve peace that guarantees the rights of the Palestinian people and embodies the independent Palestinian state that lives in security and peace alongside Israel, so that the entire region can enjoy security and peace."


He stressed the importance of cooperation with the United Nations, pointing to the joint efforts to bring in aid and the continuity of these efforts, so that aid enters Gaza without interruption, and so that "we begin, God willing, the reconstruction process, which is necessary to establish the Palestinian people on their land, and this is a Jordanian priority historically, presently, and continuously."


For her part, Kaag stressed that the United Nations is looking forward to enhancing joint cooperation with Jordan, especially in intensifying the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, praising Jordan's role, led by King Abdullah II, in sending aid to the Strip through the Jordanian aid corridor.


She explained that the United Nations was able, through the Jordanian aid corridor and the constant support and commitments of the Jordanian government, to continue supporting Palestinian civilians in Gaza.


She stressed the need to establish a ceasefire in Gaza, in order to maintain the continuous delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians in the Strip.


Kach stressed that the United Nations is committed to facilitating the empowerment of all parties to find clear prospects and the political will necessary to achieve an independent and viable Palestinian state alongside Israel, despite the depth of the current crisis and humanitarian suffering in Gaza.
