Jordan's Safadi Urges Action to Halt Gaza Ethnic Cleansing

During a meeting in London, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi urged US Secretary of State Antony Blinken to apply international pressure to halt what he termed 'ethnic cleansing' in Gaza, warning that the Middle East is on the brink of regional war. He emphasized the dire humanitarian crisis in northern Gaza and called for an immediate cessation of Israeli aggressions in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank. Safadi criticized the Israeli government's lack of responsiveness to diplomatic efforts and stressed the urgency of a diplomatic resolution to prevent further escalation. Blinken acknowledged Jordan's leadership in facilitating humanitarian aid to Gaza and discussed the importance of implementing UN Security Council Resolution 1701 for stability along the Israel-Lebanon border. Both officials highlighted the need for sustainable humanitarian assistance for affected civilians. Safadi's remarks reflect growing tensions and a call for immediate action to address the volatile situation in the region.
