Jordan’s foreign minister said Israel’s goal is to "ignite" the West Bank and Lebanon while dragging the West into a regional war.
“Israel's crimes in Palestine and Lebanon are a translation of this agenda that carries out killing and destruction,” Ayman Safadi said in a post on X.
Safadi said Israel wants to drag the West into a regional war to prolong the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Everyone will pay the price for violating international law and not curbing this extremism.”
