Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said on Friday that the Israeli invasion of Gaza has begun, warning that it will cause a humanitarian disaster on an immense scale "for years to come."
"Israel just launched a ground war on Gaza. Outcome will be a humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions for years to come," he said in a post on X/Twitter.
"Voting against Arab #UNGA resolution means approving this senseless war, this senseless killing. Millions will be watching every vote. History will judge," he added.

During the early hours of Friday, massive regions in the Strip suffered from complete internet outage, while its largest communications service provider announced that it had shut down all operations across Gaza after Israeli warplanes destroyed the company's remaining infrastructure.
Meanwhile, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported that today witnessed the most violent strikes on Gaza since October 7, confirming that attacks are being carried out through air, land, and sea. Our correspondent noted that Central Gaza is being targeted as well after attacks in the previous days were concentrated north of the Strip.
The Israeli occupation persists in its aggression on the Gaza Strip for the 21st consecutive day, with civilian homes being a frequent target. The number of martyrs in the Gaza Strip has now surpassed 7,300, while there are tens of thousands of wounded and missing individuals, as reported by the Gaza government's media office.
According to the government's media office in Gaza, Israelis are deliberately striking essential life needs, including commercial facilities, storage, and food distribution points, exacerbating the depletion of vital supplies from the markets.
In this dire situation, the government's media office also confirmed that ten bakeries were destroyed by the Israelis amid the continued prohibition of entering food supplies into Gaza.
