Jordan's foreign minister issued a statement Wednesday afternoon reiterating the kingdom's longstanding position on Jerusalem and the Palestinian issue. The minister denied Israel's sovereignty over Jerusalem, called for a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, and accused Israel of war crimes and genocide, specifically citing the displacement of 2 million Palestinians. The remarks were reported by the source.
The statement is the latest in a series of diplomatic condemnations of Israel from regional and international actors. As The Zioneer has previously reported, Turkish President Erdogan and U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders have made similar allegations of genocide against Israel.
