The official spokesperson for the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Dr. Sufyan Al-Qudah, stated that “Jordan’s historical and steadfast positions in supporting the Palestinian people and their inalienable rights, as well as efforts to end aggression on Gaza and the humanitarian catastrophe it causes, will not be affected by systematic smear campaigns and those behind them,” according to Jordan News – Petra. Ambassador Al-Qudah explained that the ministry “contacted the foreign ministries of the countries where these attacks occurred and their ambassadors accredited to the Kingdom,” demanding that all necessary measures be taken to ensure full protection for the Kingdom’s missions and their personnel, in accordance with these countries’ commitments under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961.
Hussein Al-Sheikh, Deputy President of Palestine, stated last Thursday that “it is part of malicious attempts to weaken their positions and disrupt any Arab balance.” He pointed to the “joint political effort with brothers and friends to stop the war of extermination and starvation, and to expand the circle of countries that have expressed their willingness to recognize the State of Palestine,” directing “greetings to Egypt and Jordan, both leadership and people, for their firm and steadfast positions in support of our people’s right to freedom and independence.”
Residents of the Gaza Strip suffer from unprecedented levels of hunger, with UN organizations warning of a famine outbreak and rising deaths due to malnutrition, particularly among children, patients, and people with disabilities. From October 7, 2023, to July 2025, the situation in Gaza has resulted in the deaths of about 60,000 Palestinians and approximately 145,000 injuries, according to the Ministry of Health data.
