Jordan says Arabs ready to work with US to achieve peace based on 2-state solution
AMMAN, Jordan (AA) – Jordan’s foreign minister has said that an Arab ministerial meeting was held last week which sent a message that Arabs are ready to work with the US to achieve peace in the Middle East based on the two-state solution promising statehood to Palestine.
“There are positive developments in the region that we need to build on,” Ayman Safadi told a joint press conference in Amman with his Greek counterpart George Gerapetritis.
He called the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza a priority to ensure that the cease-fire is maintained.
Earlier on Saturday, a six-way Arab ministerial meeting in Cairo rejected US President Donald Trump’s controversial call for ‘resettling’ Palestinians from Gaza. They also renewed calls for implementing a two-state solution to ensure Palestinian statehood.
The Greek foreign minister, for his part, said that the Gaza cease-fire could be “a positive turning point towards permanent stability in the Middle East.”
The first six-week phase of the cease-fire agreement took hold in Gaza on January 19, halting Israel’s genocidal war that has killed more than 47,500 people and left the enclave in ruins.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the devastated enclave.
