Israel fully responsible for 'catastrophic consequences' of war - Jordan FM

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi on Saturday criticized Israel for what he called a “catastrophic” military escalation against Lebanon.

“We hold Israel fully responsible for the catastrophic consequences of its aggression on Lebanon, which it is launching brutally without any legal or humanitarian deterrent, while it continues its aggression on Gaza and its dangerous escalation in the West Bank,” Safadi said on X.

He also condemned Israel’s actions as a violation of Lebanese sovereignty and stressed that the bombing of its capital and the loss of civilian lives threatened the country’s stability.
