Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi said that trying to transfer Palestinians by force was a war crime. This was reported by TASS.
Speaking at the UN Security Council meeting on the situation in the Middle East, Al Safadi said, “Any attempt to forcibly transfer Palestinians in and out of occupied territory is a war crime under the 1949 Geneva Convention.”
Earlier, Al Safadi said that the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in the Middle East imposes a certain responsibility on the UN Security Council. He criticized attempts by the United States and the European Union to legitimize Israel’s actions in the Gaza Strip. Safadi emphasized that the steps of Western countries on this issue are akin to confrontation with the Islamic world.
On October 7, Hamas launched thousands of rockets into Israel and announced the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood. Thousands of militants invaded Israeli territory, seizing dozens of military equipment and more than a hundred hostages. Against this background, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that the country was at war.
The Israel Defense Forces intervention operation was called “Iron Swords”; One of its goals was the destruction of Hamas. The Israeli Air Force launched an attack on hundreds of militant targets in the Gaza Strip, and the country’s National Security Council decided to cut off water, food, goods, electricity and fuel supplies to the region. Israel announced to the UN on October 13 that 1.1 million Palestinians would be evacuated to southern Gaza ahead of the ground operation.
