Displacing Palestinians from West Bank is ‚red line‘, declaration of war: Jordan FM

Such efforts by Israel „is a red line for Jordan, as we will confront it with all our capabilities because it is a violation of international law,“ Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi said during an emergency parliamentary session on Gaza.

He added that displacing people from one occupied territory to another would be a war crime, in reference to Palestinians in both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and thus „a declaration of war“ by Amman, which established ties with Israel in 1994.
