Ammon News - Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and Expatriate Affairs Ayman Safadi on Tuesday said that what the Israeli aggression in Gaza did was not just destroy a whole community, destroyed schools, hospitals, destroyed life itself. It also destroyed belief in the credibility of international law.

During his participation in a session titled “Revitalizing Leadership and Multilateralism in an Era of Conflict and Fragmentation” at the Bled Strategic Forum, Safadi added that there's no multilateralism without international law, without rules. And when those rules are applied selectively, then that multilateral system loses its credibility and loses its ability to function.

He noted that what we are doing in Jordan is what we have been doing for decades, working for a just and lasting peace that will ensure peace, security, and stability in the region for all peoples of the region.

Safadi also stressed that if the whole world, particularly our friends in Europe, applied the position they have towards Ukraine, to the aggression not just on Gaza, but on the right of the Palestinian people to exist, we would have had peace in the region decades ago.

"When 2.3 million people are taken hostage, starved to death, and the world is unable to do something, that tells you that something is humongously wrong with our world order and with our multilateral system. And that has got to change. We're not short of ideas; we're short of will," the Minister stated.

He also stated that our international system has normalized the killing of innocent people, the starvation of innocent people, to the extent that the killing of almost 150 people in 24 hours doesn't cause noise anywhere.

"We don't have a partner for peace in the Israeli government right now. We remain committed to international law despite its violation by Israel," Safadi stressed.
