Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates on Tuesday condemned Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip, which began this morning.

Ministry spokesperson Daifallah Al-Fayez said that the Israeli escalation against the Gaza Strip and targeting of innocent civilians will only increase tension and violence, deepen despair and promote extremist agendas in the region, and will not lead to any solutions.

He said that the solution to the problem in the Gaza Strip lies in finding a real political horizon through returning to the negotiating table between Israel and Palestine, lifting the unjust blockade on the enclave, promptly addressing the humanitarian needs there and respecting the international law.

Fayez said that Israel is held accountable for the escalation and its repercussions, and called on the international community to act urgently to stop the aggression and provide protection for the Palestinian people.
