The statement stressed that "the right of the brotherly Palestinian people will remain steadfast and no one will be able to take it away from them no matter how long it takes, and that lasting peace will only be achieved by returning to the logic of reason and accepting the principle of peaceful coexistence through the two-state solution."

The official spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Ambassador Sufian Qudah, stressed that the Israeli government continues its provocative policies and statements that undermine the sovereignty of states and the rules of international law, stressing Jordan's absolute rejection of these provocative statements, which reflect an exclusionary, provocative ideology hostile to peace and push towards further escalation in the region.
