Safadi added in a joint press conference with his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock that it is time for Germany to fulfill its international and humanitarian duty and impose sanctions on Israel.
He said: “We will not send our soldiers to be targets in an unresolved conflict, and whoever wants peace must search for his roots.”
Al-Safadi added that if electricity is cut off from refugee camps as a result of the interruption of support, we will not be able to provide electricity to them.
He stressed that Germany is “a pioneer in pressing for the implementation of international and humanitarian law, and Germany’s status and values require it to take clear steps to impose sanctions on the Israeli government and officials who spread a culture of hatred, incite murder, justify the killing of innocents, and push the region toward escalation.”
He said: “It is time for Germany to take steps consistent with historical German positions and international humanitarian law, and to impose sanctions on Israel; because it is clear that Netanyahu did not listen to the Security Council, the General Assembly, the International Court of Justice, and the advice of his friends in the West.”
The Jordanian Foreign Minister said, “The escalation will continue if Netanyahu does not face consequences for what he is doing to destroy the present and future of the region.”
The Israeli army is launching a large-scale military operation in the West Bank, concentrated in the cities of Jenin and Tulkarm.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced today, Thursday, that the number of deaths due to Israeli military operations in the West Bank has risen to 691, in addition to 5,700 wounded.
The Israeli army killed 5 Palestinians in a vehicle bombing in the city of Tubas in the West Bank, including the son of Palestinian prisoner Zakaria Zubeidi.

Jordan Urges Germany to Impose Sanctions on Israel: A Call to Action for International Humanitarian Law
In a recent joint press conference with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi reiterated the need for Germany to fulfill its international and humanitarian duty by imposing sanctions on Israel. Safadi’s vocal stance is a clarion call to action, urging Germany to take concrete steps towards promoting peace and stability in the region.
The Imperative for Sanctions
Safadi emphasized that the current escalation in the region necessitates a stronger response from the international community. He stressed that Israel’s failure to comply with international law and humanitarian principles necessitates decisive action, including the imposition of sanctions. The Jordanian Foreign Minister argued that Germany, as a champion of human rights and international law, has a moral obligation to take a leading role in promoting accountability and justice in the region.
The Consequences of Inaction
The humanitarian crisis in the region is dire, with millions of refugees facing dire living conditions. Safadi warned that if electricity is cut off from refugee camps due to the interruption of support, the consequences would be catastrophic. He underscored that the situation demands urgent attention, and that Germany’s inaction would only exacerbate the crisis.
A Call to Consistency
Safadi appealed to Germany’s historical commitment to upholding international humanitarian law and its values of justice and human rights. He emphasized that Germany’s status as a beacon of democracy and human rights requires it to take clear and decisive steps to hold Israel accountable for its actions. The Jordanian Foreign Minister argued that the Israeli government’s blatant disregard for international law and its perpetuation of a culture of hatred and violence necessitates a robust response from the international community.
Netanyahu’s Disregard for International Law
Safadi’s remarks were particularly scathing in their criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has consistently disregarded the Security Council, the General Assembly, and the International Court of Justice. The Jordanian Foreign Minister warned that Netanyahu’s actions are deliberately pushing the region towards escalation, and that his refusal to listen to the advice of his friends in the West has led to a grave humanitarian crisis.
A Plea for Peace
Safadi’s words were not merely a denunciation of Israeli actions, but also a heartfelt plea for peace and stability in the region. He stressed that the current escalation will continue unless Netanyahu faces consequences for his actions, which are designed to destroy the present and future of the region. The Jordanian Foreign Minister’s message was clear: the international community must act to prevent further bloodshed and promote a lasting peace.
Conclusion
Ayman Safadi’s call to action is a timely reminder of the imperative for international cooperation and accountability in promoting peace and stability in the Middle East. Germany, as a leading voice in the international community, has a moral obligation to take concrete steps towards ensuring that Israel complies with international humanitarian law. The world watches with bated breath as the situation in the region continues to deteriorate; it is time for Germany to take a stand and impose sanctions on Israel.
