Amman, July 19 (Petra) - Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs Ayman Safadi and his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan held a phone call on Sunday to discuss the dangerous regional escalation and press for a swift return to diplomacy.
The ministers urged for halting escalations, implementing the US-Iran ceasefire agreement, and resuming negotiations to achieve a comprehensive resolution to regional tensions.
Turning to the Palestinian territories, Safadi and Fidan called for the full execution of US President Donald Trump’s Gaza plan to restore stability. They demanded that Israel immediately lift all restrictions on humanitarian aid entering the blockaded strip.
They rejected all illegal Israeli actions that entrench the occupation in the West Bank and undermine the two-state solution, which they said is "the only path to a just peace." They urged the international community to take decisive action to halt Israel's international law violations.
The ministers warned against ongoing Israeli attempts to alter the historic and legal status quo of Jerusalem’s Islamic and Christian holy sites. They stressed that the Aqsa Mosque remains an exclusive place of worship for Muslims, warning that continued Israeli provocations threaten to ignite a broader conflict across the occupied West Bank.
