Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, in response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “We are surrounded by enemies” comment, said Israel has no “end game” and only wants war. Safadi’s comments come amid dramatically escalating tensions between Israel and Hezbollah.
Safadi’s comments came after Israel bombed Beirut, Lebanon, with the Jewish state’s army saying it had targeted Hezbollah’s central headquarters in the capital’s southern suburbs.
“We are here members of the Muslim-Arab Committee mandated by 57 Muslim-Arab countries. I can tell you very clearly here, we are all willing to guarantee Israel’s security right now in the context of the end of Israel.” “The occupation and allowing the emergence of a Palestinian state, an independent state,” Safadi said.
Holding Netanyahu responsible for the country’s brutal aggression against Lebanon and its continued attacks, Safadi said the Israeli PM is constantly relying on violence because he does not want a “two-state solution.”
“Can you ask Israeli officials what their end game is other than war and war and war…do they have any story other than ‘I will continue the war and kill this and kill that.’ It took 30 years to convince people that peace was possible, but this Israeli government has destroyed it; it will take generations to understand the amount of dehumanization and hatred.”
Safadi also said he held Israel responsible for “the devastating consequences of its brutal aggression against Lebanon” amid rising tensions between the Jewish state and Hezbollah.
Israel is continuously carrying out airstrikes on Hezbollah targets in Lebanon. More than 100 people were killed and 359 others were injured in Israeli air strikes on Sunday. Air strikes have destroyed homes and displaced thousands of people. A video shared from Lebanon by India Today reporter Ashraf Wani shows hundreds of Lebanese people trying to cross the border into Syria in search of safer pastures as Israeli air strikes continue to wreak havoc.
“We hold Israel fully responsible for the devastating consequences of its aggression on Lebanon, which it is brutally launching without any legal or humanitarian restraint, while it continues its dangerous escalation of aggression on Gaza and in the West Bank. We stand in solidarity with Lebanon and its brotherly people in the face of this aggression and heal its wounds, and we express our support for it and its sovereignty, security, solidarity and peace. Confirm,” Safadi said on X.
Ayman Safadi’s statement comes amid reports of the death of several top Hezbollah leaders, including Hassan Nasrallah. Israel claims to have killed several top Hezbollah commanders, while it continues bombing raids targeting the terrorist group’s military infrastructure.
It is noteworthy that at least four people were killed in an Israeli air attack on a building in Beirut, Lebanon early on Monday. This is the first time since the case escalated The conflict began as Israel attacked a residential area in the Kola district of Beirut. India Today TV’s Ashraf Wani reported that Israeli drones have been carrying out strikes in the suburbs of Beirut since Sunday evening.
