Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi has called for Israel to be held accountable over what he described as violations of international law and its treatment of Palestinians.
According to a report by Al Jazeera on Thursday, September 24, 2026, Safadi made the comments during the ongoing United Nations General Assembly, where he said Israel’s policies and actions had been exposed before the international community.
In a post on X, Safadi pointed to growing international criticism over the killing of children, destruction of schools and starvation of civilians amid the ongoing conflict.
He also accused what he called Israel’s “mouthpieces” of attempting to distort history and discredit those demanding respect for international law.
Safadi criticised attacks against the United Nations, humanitarian organisations and international leaders who have raised concerns about the situation in Gaza and the wider region.
He said Jordan would continue drawing attention to what he described as the “inhumanity of the occupation” while seeking practical international measures against Israeli expansionism.
Safadi also argued that Israel’s policies were contributing to instability across the Middle East and worsening conditions for Palestinians.
“The Israeli government must be held accountable for its violation of international law; for the injustice, oppression and deprivation it imposes on the Palestinian people; and for the conflicts it inflicts on the region that threaten international peace and security,” Safadi said.
His remarks came as the UN General Assembly continued discussions on the war in Gaza, humanitarian conditions and the wider Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
