The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned in the strongest terms the Israeli occupation's bombing of the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, completely putting it out of service. The Ministry considered it a flagrant violation of international law and international humanitarian law, and a clear violation of the 1949 Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War.
In a statement issued on Sunday, the Ministry's official spokesman, Ambassador Sufyan Al-Qudah, affirmed the Kingdom's absolute rejection and condemnation of the continued Israeli aggression on Gaza, the continued systematic targeting of civilians and civilian objects in Gaza, the destruction of vital facilities that provide basic services to the Gazans, and Israel's use of hunger and siege as weapons to push Palestinians towards forced displacement. He warned of the consequences of Israeli violations and their repercussions on the security and stability of the region.
The judges called on the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities and compel Israel to immediately halt its aggression against Gaza, open the crossings designated for the delivery of humanitarian aid to the Strip, fulfill the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to establish their independent, sovereign state on the June 4, 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, halt the crimes committed against them, and hold those responsible accountable.
