Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said: “I have discussed with UN peace process envoy Thor Wencesland our efforts to stop Israeli aggression in Gaza and stop the escalation, which threatens to have more serious consequences.”
In a social media statement, he pointed out that “I stressed the need to prevent any provocative movements in Haram al-Sharif today, and respect for the existing historical and legal situation is a necessity to prevent further escalation.”
Al-Safadi said: “In a conversation with Wencesland, I stressed the need for the international community to take immediate and effective action to stop the condemned Israeli aggression in Gaza and ensure the protection of Palestinian citizens in Gaza.” stressing that “continued aggression threatens wider cycles of violence for which everyone will pay.”
On Sunday, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid decided to allow settlers to enter the courtyards of the Al-Aqsa mosque, including members of the Knesset, after consultations with security officials.
This decision will be a new escalation in Jerusalem, paralleling the escalation in the Gaza Strip, where on Friday the Israeli army targeted Islamic Jihad leaders in the Gaza Strip, killing a prominent leader of the movement and an official in northern Gaza, Taysir al-Jabari. .
As a result of Israeli raids on the Gaza Strip, 24 people have died so far, including 6 children. In response to the attack, the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of Islamic Jihad, announced they would fire hundreds of rockets at Israel in response to Jabari’s assassination.
