Jordanian and Irish Foreign Ministers Call for Immediate Ceasefire and Aid Delivery in Gaza
Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi spoke with Irish Minister for Foreign Affairs Micheal Martin on Thursday.
They discussed the importance of an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and delivering aid to the enclave during Ramadan, as called for in Security Council Resolution No. 2728.
Israel's bombing of homes in Rafah raised concerns for a ground assault.
Both ministers emphasized upholding international law and humanitarian principles and continued collaboration to facilitate aid into Gaza.
Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad Safadi urged European nations, including Ireland, to recognize the Palestinian state.
He expressed gratitude for Ireland's support of a ceasefire, aid, and commitment to the two-state solution.
Israel has imposed a siege on Gaza since an attack by Hamas on October 7, restricting food, fuel, water, and power supplies.
The International Court of Justice ordered Israel to ensure basic food supplies reach the Palestinian population without delay.
Ireland announced it would intervene in a case brought by South Africa, arguing that the restriction of essential goods in Gaza could potentially constitute genocidal intent.
