Safadi: Absurd signals from Israeli officials regarding the Palestinian issue at the expense of Jordan.. and this is impossible

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi said on Thursday that statements issued by Israeli officials contained "absurd" signals that the Palestinian issue could be resolved at the expense of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, affirming: "This is impossible because we are with it with all our capabilities."

This came during Safadi's participation in the press conference of the ministerial meeting of the International Coalition to Implement the Two-State Solution, on the sidelines of the 81st session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.

Safadi emphasized that the statements of Israeli officials over the past few days clearly reflect that their methodology is a war methodology.

Safadi also warned of the dangers of establishing the "E1" settlement on the chances of achieving a two-state solution.

Safadi said that the settlement is "expanding at an unprecedented rate," pointing out that the clear goal of Israeli settlement plans is to end the chances of achieving a two-state solution, which he said is the only way to achieve just peace.

He added that Israel has put out tenders for parts of the "E1" settlement and is preparing to put out new tenders, warning that the establishment of the settlement will separate northern West Bank from southern West Bank, posing a major threat to the chances of achieving a two-state solution.

Safadi pointed out that the danger of settlement, settler violence, and land confiscation is "increasing significantly," noting that more than 1,400 Palestinians have been displaced from their homes in the West Bank as a result of settlement attacks, house demolitions, and home demolitions.

He warned against attacks on Islamic and Christian holy sites, pointing out that this leads to the ignition of a religious war that Israel can start but no one can end.

Safadi touched on the escalating Israeli hate speech, saying that the statements issued by Israeli government ministers yesterday and today "clearly reflect that their methodology is a war methodology, and that they want to kill the two-state solution."

Safadi emphasized that the danger is increasing with the continuation of settlement, stressing the need for the international community to take action to deter the actions of the Israeli government and curb what he described as its "aggression and expansionism."

He said that the opportunity to implement the two-state solution is "narrowing," warning that if the international community does not act, "there will be no two-state solution to talk about, there will be a sustained conflict that will escalate."
