AMMAN: The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates expressed regret and disappointment over the Security Council’s failure to adopt a ceasefire resolution in the Gaza Strip due to the United States of America’s veto against the draft resolution submitted by Algeria on behalf of the Arab group, as reported by Jordan News Agency (Petra).
The Ministry’s official spokesperson, Sufyan Qudah, said that the Security Council’s failure to issue a resolution to end the raging war on Gaza for the third time reflects the international inability to stop the humanitarian catastrophe caused by the senseless war of aggression that Israel insists on continuing.
Qudah emphasized that the rules of international law must be applied impartially and without preference, and that the international community particularly the Security Council must fulfill its obligations by passing a resolution to end the bloody war in Gaza, which has claimed the lives of over 29,000 innocent people, the majority of whom are women and children.

Following the meeting, Kays stated: “The discussion with the Minister of Information addressed the necessity of achieving justice for journalists who were martyred in southern Lebanon as a result of war crimes. We also asked the Minister to initiate a discussion within the government on the need to file a lawsuit on this matter with the International Criminal Court and to grant it the authority to investigate Israeli crimes in the south, including crimes against journalists.”
