Jordan's Foreign Minister, Ayman Safadi, strongly condemns Israel's "blatant aggression" on Gaza, emphasizing that Jordan will not allow attempts to empty the population of the besieged territory. He asserts that the ongoing conflict will not bring security to Israel and rejects the displacement of Palestinians, stating that neither Jordan nor Egypt will accept such policies. Safadi highlights the disproportionate impact on civilians, particularly children and women, expressing concern about the toll of the military invasion.

The call for the UN to speak out against "ethnic cleansing" reflects growing concerns over human rights violations and displacement. Advocates for such action emphasize the importance of international organizations addressing these issues and working towards a resolution to prevent further harm in the affected regions.

The assertion that the UN must speak out against the "ethnic cleansing" of the Gaza Strip underscores the urgency of addressing the reported forcible transfer of people, widespread bombardment, and the use of starvation as a tool of war. The concern is heightened by the claim that Israeli leadership aims to depopulate Gaza, prompting a call for international attention and condemnation. The mention of a "real and substantial possibility" of genocide adds to the gravity of the situation, emphasizing the need for swift and decisive action.
