Jordan Condemns Israeli Plans To Expand Gaza Control Amid Aid Struggles

Jordan has strongly condemned Israel’s recent plan to expand military control over Gaza, warning that it threatens peace prospects and worsens the humanitarian crisis in the enclave. The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs criticized the plan as a violation of international law and an extension of Israel's siege tactics, urging Israel to stop its aggression and allow urgent humanitarian aid. King Abdullah II reaffirmed Jordan's support for a two-state solution and coordinated with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on escalating tensions and attacks on holy sites. Jordan has actively delivered humanitarian aid to Gaza through airdrops in cooperation with international partners, while also facilitating medical treatment for Palestinian children under the Jordan Medical Corridor initiative despite logistical and security challenges. Furthermore, Jordan condemned repeated attacks by settlers on aid convoys bound for Gaza, criticizing Israeli authorities for inadequate intervention and highlighting severe delays and obstacles at border crossings that complicate humanitarian efforts. These developments underscore Jordan's ongoing commitment to supporting Gaza amid intensifying conflict and humanitarian needs.
