On Wednesday, Jordan’s foreign minister stated that Israel is driving the entire Middle East towards the edge of regional conflict due to its ongoing dangerous escalation on multiple fronts.

Following a meeting in Amman of an Islamic and Arab ministerial contact group aimed at advocating for a ceasefire in Gaza, Ayman Safadi emphasized that lasting peace cannot be achieved without a two-state solution.

Safadi has retained his position in the newly appointed Jordanian cabinet announced on the same day.
