Jordan Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi and his Yemeni counterpart Ahmed bin Mubarak Monday discussed in Amman the bilateral ties and regional issues, especially the Palestinian cause.
Safadi said Jordan welcomed the cease-fire that ended Israel’s military operation in the Gaza Strip and warned against the consequences of the continued absence of negotiations. He condemned the violations in the Israeli Al-Aqsa Mosque in occupied Jerusalem, calling for international efforts to bring peace based on the two-state solution.
During the meeting, the ministers discussed efforts to reach a political solution to end the Yemeni crisis and restore security and stability in the embattled country.
Safadi said Jordan welcomes the announcement of extending the cease-fire in Yemen for two months. He also expressed Jordan’s support to UN efforts to resolve the Yemeni crisis.
Bin Mubarak praised Jordan’s role in establishing security and stability in the region, lauding Jordan’s support for the Yemeni people.
“As we always reiterate, and as His Majesty, the King, has always emphasised, the security and stability of the Gulf is part of our own. We stand with our brothers in any action they take to protect their interests,” Safadi said.
Safadi highlighted that Jordan has taken in 7,000 Yemeni citizens since the signing of the armistice, adding that Jordan provides political and humanitarian support to Yemen.
