AMMAN — Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister Ayman Safadi on Saturday said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s threat to attack Rafah poses a global challenge, including to the US.

In a post on the X platform (previously known as Twitter), Safadi voiced his concern over the potential for another massacre against 2.3 million Palestinians who are starving due to the Israeli siege, emphasising that this cannot be permitted.

Safadi also said that the UN Security Council must intervene to halt this catastrophe in Gaza. He also called for the adoption of a resolution, even if its sole purpose is to voice a firm “no” to mass killings.
