AMMAN — The Foreign Ministry on Sunday “strongly”condemned ongoing settler attacks against Palestinians, most recently targeting several villages and towns in the northern West Bank, holding Israel, as the occupying power, responsible.

 

In a statement, the ministry spokesperson, Fuad Majali, reiterated Jordan’s rejection of the attacks and the escalating violence by extremist settlers against the Palestinian people, warning that continued violations and restrictions in the occupied territory risk further escalation and threaten regional security and stability.

 

He urged the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities and compel Israel to halt the dangerous escalation and settler violence.

 

He also stressed the need to fulfil the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people, primarily their right to and independent, sovereign state of their own on the June 4, 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

 

The spokesperson also said that the two-state solution remains the only path to achieving a just and comprehensive peace.
