AMMAN — Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi on Saturday participated in a panel discussion titled “The Future of Global Security Governance” during the 21st Manama Dialogue 2025.

 

Speaking alongside German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul and UK Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs Yvette Cooper, Safadi stressed that the immediate priority is to ensure full adherence to the Gaza ceasefire and to address the war’s devastating humanitarian consequences.

 

The minister also highlighted the need to link stabilisation efforts to a political horizon that leads to a just and lasting peace, with the two-state solution as the only viable path, according to a Foreign Ministry statement.

 

Safadi noted that the Arab-Islamic Ministerial Committee would continue working with the US and European partners to consolidate the Gaza ceasefire, commending the role of US President Donald Trump in facilitating the agreement.

 

The top diplomat also underscored the importance of establishing a comprehensive post-ceasefire framework for Gaza, including humanitarian aid delivery, early recovery, security, governance, and a clear political horizon.

 

He also warned against any attempts to fragment Gaza, saying, “Gaza is one entity and an integral part of the occupied Palestinian territory. Since we all agree that the two-state solution is the only path to the just and lasting peace we seek, Gaza and the West Bank must remain inseparable.”

 

Safadi also reiterated His Majesty King Abdullah’s stance that no Jordanian troops would be deployed in Gaza, highlighting Jordan’s role as a hub for aid delivery, its readiness to train Palestinian police forces, and its willingness to cooperate with an international force mandated by the UN Security Council in areas such as training, command and technical support.

 

He also called for a clear timetable for the withdrawal of Israeli forces, which still control 53 per cent of Gaza, warning that their continued presence would undermine security, adding, "Once security is achieved, Palestinians must govern themselves, with any technocratic committee linked to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA)."

 

Safadi also stressed the importance of establishing an international assistance mission with a clear mandate to support reconstruction, planning, capacity building and institutional development.

 

Reiterating the need for a sustained flow of humanitarian aid, he urged Israel to remove all obstacles preventing the entry of assistance and allow UN agencies and humanitarian organisations to operate effectively. He also stressed that stability in the West Bank is essential for lasting security in Gaza.

 

On the Palestinian Authority, Safadi emphasised that supporting it as the legitimate representative of the Palestinian people, noting President Mahmoud Abbas’s commitment to reforms.

 

Safadi also called for support for Syria’s reconstruction in ways that preserve its unity, sovereignty, and stability, while ensuring the safety of its citizens and ending Israeli attacks that undermine regional stability.

 

Regarding Lebanon, the minister stressed the importance of safeguarding its unity, sovereignty, security, and institutional stability.

 

Safadi also held bilateral meetings with senior counterparts on the sidelines of the Manama Dialogue to enhance coordination on regional developments. He met with Bahrain Crown Prince and Prime Minister Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, along with heads of participating Arab delegations, as part of the forum’s activities.

He also met with US Ambassador to Turkey and Special Envoy for Syria Thomas Barrack to follow up on the Jordanian-US-Syrian roadmap for resolving the crisis in Sweida and stabilising southern Syria, endorsed on September 16, 2025.

 

Safadi also met with International Committee of the Red Cross Director-General Pierre Krahenbuhl to coordinate efforts ensuring sufficient and sustained humanitarian aid reaches all areas of Gaza.

 

Also on Friday, Safadi held extensive talks with his Bahraini counterpart Abdullatif Bin Rashid Al Zayani.
