Jordan Welcomes Gaza Ceasefire Agreement and Implementation of Initial Phase

Jordan: Jordan has welcomed the agreement reached to establish a ceasefire in Gaza, along with the mechanisms for implementing the first phase, which aim to end the war, facilitate a prisoner exchange, ensure the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Strip, and allow for the entry of humanitarian aid.

According to Qatar News Agency, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi praised the significant efforts made by the Arab Republic of Egypt, the State of Qatar, and the United States to help broker the agreement. He also expressed appreciation for the contributions of the Republic of Turkey.

Safadi stressed the importance of fully adhering to and implementing the terms of the agreement to end the war and address the catastrophic consequences of the aggression.

He also commended US President Donald Trump for his pivotal role in finalizing the agreement, including his proposal to end the war, rebuild Gaza, prevent the displacement of the Palestinian people, and advance a comprehensive peace process. Safadi further welcomed President Trump’s announcement that the US would oppose the annexation of the West Bank.

The Jordanian foreign minister emphasized the urgent need for coordinated efforts to ensure the immediate and sufficient delivery of humanitarian aid to end the famine facing Gaza.

Safadi reaffirmed that Jordan will continue to work alongside its Arab and international partners to achieve a just and comprehensive peace-one that includes an end to the occupation and the establishment of an independent, sovereign Palestinian state on the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.

Earlier today, President Trump announced that Israel and the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) had signed the first phase of the peace plan, expressing gratitude to the mediators from Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey for their roles in the process.
