Israel pushing Middle East into ‘abyss of regional war,’ says Jordan's top diplomat

Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi accused Israel of pushing the Middle East "into the abyss of a regional war" due to its dangerous escalation on multiple fronts.

Speaking after an Islamic and Arab ministerial contact group meeting in Amman, which aimed to lobby for a ceasefire in Gaza, Safadi emphasised that peace would not be possible without a two-state solution.

In a post on X, he further stated, "We stressed the need for the international community to take practical steps to curb Israeli aggression, including imposing sanctions on it and stopping the supply of weapons to it."
