Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi calls out "Israel" as the "biggest threat" to regional security due to its ongoing genocide in Gaza and its consistent violation of international law.

The Israeli government's policies pose the "biggest threat" to the Middle East's regional security, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said on Monday, following recent statements from his Israeli counterpart, Israel Katz.

“No amount of disinformation by radical Israeli officials spreading lies, including about Jordan, will change the fact that Israel’s continued aggression on Gaza, it's [sic] violation of international law and the rights of the Palestinian people are the biggest threat to regional security,” Safadi wrote in a statement on X, emphasizing "Facts speak way louder than lies."

This statement follows recent policy propositions from the occupation's foreign minister, Israel Katz, who requested building a wall along the Jordanian border to prevent supposed smuggling. The politician also called for the evacuation of the Jenin refugee camp in the West Bank, insisting on "handling it similarly" to the Gaza Strip.

“The facts about the horrors this most radical of Israeli governments is bringing upon innocent Palestinian women, men and children and the threat of its illegal actions and radical policies to the security and stability of region are so clear and documented,” Safadi said.

“No propaganda campaigns, no lies, no fabrications can cover that.”

Iranian Acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani held discussions with his Jordanian counterpart on August 4 to address regional developments, Iranian media reported.

Safadi, who arrived in Tehran earlier on August 4 for talks with Iranian officials, met with Bagheri Kani at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the afternoon, days after the assassination of Hamas Political Bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, with Iran vowing a severe retaliation to the Israeli assault, despite American and Arab efforts aimed at pressuring it to tone down its response.

Following the meeting, Safadi stated that he visited the Iranian capital upon an official invitation to discuss the serious escalation in the region.

He clarified, "I told my Iranian counterpart that I was not there to convey a message from Israel in Tehran, nor am I here to convey a message to Israel."

The Jordanian foreign minister called for effective action to stop the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip and halt the illegal Israeli measures.

"We want our region to live in security, peace, and stability, and we want the escalation to end," he said.

Recent regional tensions

Tensions in the Middle East are heating up due to "Israel's" aggression on Iran and Lebanon, with the assassination of Haniyeh in Tehran occurring on July 31, just hours after the occupation targeted senior Hezbollah commander Fouad Shokor in Haret Hreik, the Southern Suburbs of Beirut. 

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry called on all Jordanian nationals in Lebanon to leave as soon as possible and urged those planning to visit Lebanon not to do so, citing “the developments taking place in the region” and concerns for citizen safety in fear of a full-blown war with the Israeli regime.

Both Hamas and Iran vowed to retaliate against "Israel's" assault in Tehran against the Palestinian Resistance leader, while Safadi described the occupation as a "rogue state" for its heinous act.

In April, Jordan aided the US-led coalition in intercepting Iranian missiles launched toward "Israel" in retaliation for the occupation striking an Iranian consulate in Syria, killing one of its top generals.
