AMMAN — Jordan on Sunday condemned Israel’s decision to halt the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and shut down designated crossings, calling it a “blatant violation of international law, international humanitarian law, and the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 on the protection of civilians during wartime.”
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Sufyan Qudah said the Israeli government’s move constitutes a “serious breach of the ceasefire agreement and risks reigniting violence in the Strip.”
He stressed the urgent need for Israel to end its use of “starvation as a weapon against Palestinian civilians,” particularly during the holy month of Ramadan.
Qudah urged the international community to fulfill its legal and moral responsibilities by forcing Israel to abide by the ceasefire agreement, ensure its full implementation, and reopen border crossings to facilitate the delivery of critical humanitarian aid to Gaza, where an unprecedented humanitarian crisis persists.
