The statement said: “Today, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs, Ayman Al-Safadi, decided to summon the Jordanian ambassador to Israel to Jordan immediately, as an expression of Jordan’s position rejecting and condemning the raging Israeli war on Gaza, which is killing innocent people, causing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, and carrying "Dangerous possibilities for its expansion, which will threaten the security of the entire region and international security and peace."

The statement added that Al-Safadi directed “the relevant department in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriate Affairs to inform the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs not to return its ambassador who had previously left the Kingdom.”

The Foreign Ministry added that Al-Safadi stated that "the return of the ambassadors will be linked to Israel stopping its war on Gaza and stopping the humanitarian catastrophe it is causing and all its measures that deprive the Palestinians of their right to food, water, medicine, and their right to live in a safe and stable manner on their national soil."

The Jordanian Foreign Minister stressed that “Jordan will continue to work to stop the war on Gaza, bring in humanitarian aid, protect civilians, and protect the region from its consequences and its disastrous impact on the future of the region and its right to a just and comprehensive peace on the basis of the two-state solution that embodies the independent and sovereign Palestinian national state with its capital.” Occupied Jerusalem is on the lines of June 4, 1967, which represents the only way to guarantee the security of all the peoples and countries of the region.”
