“Israeli government is a rogue, driven by hatred,” says Jordan’s FM at UN Security Council

Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi delivered a scathing rebuke of ‘Israel’ during an emergency session of the UN Security Council convened to discuss the recent ‘Israeli’ attack on Qatar.

Safadi described the ‘Israeli’ government as "a rogue government, stained with the blood of innocents, driven by extremism and hatred, that neither cares for international law nor is deterred by human values."

He accused ‘Israel’ of seeing itself as "above the law" and relying on "oppression to enforce a racist ideology and achieve expansionist goals that threaten peace and security in the region and the world."

A Catastrophic Toll and Broad Aggression

Safadi detailed the human cost of the conflict, stating that over the last 23 months, ‘Israel’ has killed more than 65,000 Palestinians in Gaza, along with 540 humanitarian aid workers and 247 journalists. He accused ‘Israel’ of using starvation as a weapon, which he said has led to the deaths of 411 Palestinians, including 142 children, in Gaza.

The minister also said ‘Israel’ is destabilizing Lebanon and occupying more Syrian land, while also creating "strife aimed at plunging Syria into chaos and conflict."

He described the attack on Qatar's capital, Doha, as a "blatant violation of international law" and a "cowardly attack" on a state that has worked tirelessly with Egypt and the United States to reach a ceasefire deal.

Safadi accused the ‘Israeli’ government and its extremists of "lying in all their claims to justify their treachery against Qatar."

A Call for Action and Accountability

Safadi called on the Security Council to act immediately, stating it is time for the international community to "curb its arrogance and protect the entire region from its catastrophic actions."

He urged the council to use the tools at its disposal to enforce international law and the UN Charter.

"Apply international law and the UN Charter, which form the basis of your legitimacy. Use these tools to enforce the acceptance of the exchange deal that Qatar, Egypt, and the United States have worked on. Use them to stop the aggression on Gaza, to end the starvation, to enforce the entry of humanitarian aid," he said.

Safadi said the council must "protect what remains of the credibility of international law and international humanitarian law, to restore faith that human values and international law were created to be applied without discrimination or selectivity."

He stated that ‘Israel’ is killing all opportunities for peace by expanding illegal settlements, protecting what he called "settler terrorists," and besieging the Palestinian people.

Safadi noted that just hours before the session, the ‘Israeli’ Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boasted about authorizing a new illegal settlement and preventing the establishment of a Palestinian state.

A Shared Vision for Peace

Safadi affirmed that Jordan and Qatar share a vision for a safe and stable Middle East. "Our security and Qatar's security are one. And Qatar's stability and the region's stability are one," he said.

He stated that the Arab Peace Initiative has been waiting for a positive ‘Israeli’ response since 2002. He also pushed back on the ‘Israeli’ government's claim that they are surrounded by enemies, asserting that all Arab states are committed to a just and lasting peace based on a two-state solution.

"We want a just peace," Safadi said. "But the reality is that there is no Israeli partner now to work on achieving it."

Safadi concluded by saying ‘Israel’ has made Gaza "a land of death" and is engaging in a "genocidal war."

He ended his speech with a plea: "Injustice has gone too far. End it. End it before it's too late."

The attempt to assassinate Hamas negotiators in the capital of a US ally was the act of a rogue government uninterested in peace

“Why does the PM insist on blowing up any deal that comes close?” despaired the mother of a hostage held in Gaza, following Israel’s airstrike in Qatar on Tuesday. For anyone who doubted Benjamin Netanyahu’s commitment to the forever war he unleashed after 7 October, the attempt to wipe out Hamas’s ceasefire negotiation team in Doha offered grim confirmation that peace – and the return of Israeli hostages – is low on Mr Netanyahu’s list of current priorities.

Just how close Hamas’s leadership was to endorsing ceasefire proposals backed by Donald Trump – which were being discussed in the capital of an established US ally – is unclear. However, Mr Netanyahu’s strike has ensured that its negotiators will not agree to sit round a table again anytime soon. Israel swiftly stated that the attack was in response to the Hamas-claimed shooting in Jerusalem on Monday, in which six people died. But it also occurred as the Israeli military ordered the complete evacuation of Gaza City, ahead of a full-scale invasion that will bring further death and destruction to a starving, traumatised population.

It could not be plainer that ending the suffering is not compatible with the goals of Mr Netanyahu, and the far-right allies on which his government depends. But faced with such contemptuous intransigence – and growing evidence that those goals include establishing a “Greater Israel” stretching beyond 1967 borders – the west’s response is pusillanimous and painfully inadequate.

As Mr Trump issues ignored deadlines and empty exhortations to peace on social media, Mr Netanyahu is deploying US-derived military might to act with impunity, unilaterally striking targets when and where he wishes. Yet though the president criticised Israel after Tuesday’s attack for violating the sovereignty of a US ally, he also made a point of approving the general aim of eliminating Hamas. For Mr Trump, it appears that there are no truly red lines for Israel’s extremist government to cross.

Against that alarming and dangerous backdrop, it is imperative that Sir Keir Starmer and other European leaders seek to exert greater pressure both on Washington and Israel itself...

Maps: Israel has attacked six countries in the past 72 hours In just three days, Israel has carried out strikes in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Tunisia, Qatar and Yemen.

On Tuesday, Israel launched a targeted air strike on a Hamas leadership compound in Qatar’s capital, Doha, during a meeting to discuss a US-proposed ceasefire for Gaza.

The strike killed six people, including the son of senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya, the director of al-Hayya’s office, three bodyguards and a Qatari security officer. However, its top leaders are reported to have survived the attack.

 The attack was part of a wider wave of Israeli strikes extending beyond its immediate borders, and marked the sixth country attacked in just 72 hours and the seventh since the start of this year.

Israel continues to bombard Gaza

Israeli attacks across Gaza have killed at least 150 people and injured more than 540 others since Monday.

On Monday, 67 people were killed and hospitals received 320 wounded, including 14 people killed while seeking aid, while six people – among them two children – died from famine-related causes. On Tuesday, another 83 people were killed and 223 were injured.

Israel is continuing its assault on Gaza City, targeting high-rise buildings, destroying infrastructure, and forcing residents from their homes, leaving many with nowhere safe to seek shelter.

Since its onset in October 2023, Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 64,656 people, including at least 404 who have died of starvation. Thousands more have been lost under the rubble and are believed to be dead.

Despite a truce, Israel bombs Lebanon

On Monday at 1:00pm local time (10:00am GMT), Israeli warplanes carried out strikes in the Bekaa and Hermel districts of eastern Lebanon, killing at least five people.

Israel’s military claimed it had struck weapons depots and military facilities used by Hezbollah, though the assertion could not be independently verified. Hezbollah has not yet issued a response.

The attacks marked the latest breach of a ceasefire agreement signed last November.

Despite the truce, Israel has continued near-daily assaults on Lebanese territory, particularly in the south, and maintains an occupation at five border outposts in violation of the ceasefire’s withdrawal terms.

On Tuesday, an Israeli drone strike was reported at the entrance of the village of Barja, about 30km (19 miles) south of Beirut, wounding a Hezbollah member.

Israel targets Syria

On late Monday night, Israeli warplanes struck several sites in Syria, hitting a Syrian air force base in Homs and a military barracks near Latakia, according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR)....

The New Yorker: The Children Who Lost Limbs in Gaza More than a thousand children who were injured in the war are now amputees. What do their futures hold?

"...Gazal was wounded on November 10th, when, as her family fled Gaza City’s Al-Shifa hospital, shrapnel pierced her left calf. To stop the bleeding, a doctor, who had no access to antiseptic or anesthesia, heated the blade of a kitchen knife and cauterized the wound. Within days, the gash ran with pus and began to smell. By mid-December, when Gazal’s family arrived at Nasser Medical Center—then Gaza’s largest functioning health-care facility—gangrene had set in, necessitating amputation at the hip. On December 17th, a projectile hit the children’s ward of Nasser. Gazal and her mother watched it enter their room, decapitating Gazal’s twelve-year-old roommate and causing the ceiling to collapse. (Multiple news reports have described the event as an Israeli attack. The I.D.F. claimed the incident could have been caused by a Hamas mortar or the remnant of an Israeli flare.) Gazal and her mother managed to crawl out of the rubble. The next day, their names were added to the list of evacuees who could cross the border into Egypt and then fly to Qatar for medical treatment. Gazal’s mother was nine months pregnant; she gave birth to a baby girl while awaiting the airlift to Doha.

UNICEF estimates that a thousand children in Gaza have become amputees since the conflict began in October. “This is the biggest cohort of pediatric amputees in history,” Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a London-based plastic-and-reconstructive surgeon who specializes in pediatric trauma,..."

The Children Who Lost Limbs in Gaza

More than a thousand children who were injured in the war are now amputees. What do their futures hold?

By Eliza Griswold  March 21, 2024

Just off the acacia-lined highway to the Qatari capital of Doha is a three-story, whitewashed apartment complex built to host visitors at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Until recently, the gated compound was unoccupied. Yet in the past several months, as part of a deal Qatar struck with Israel, Hamas, and Egypt to evacuate as many as fifteen hundred wounded Gazans in urgent need of medical care, it has begun to fill. The new residents are eight hundred and fifteen medical evacuees from the ongoing war, along with five hundred and forty-two of their relatives. Most are women and children.  ...
