The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates of Jordan, Ayman Al-Safadi, confirmed that Israel has destroyed Gaza and displaced two-thirds of its people, noting that the occupation has turned its schools into rubble, its homes into ruins, and its alleys into ruins.

Al-Safadi said in his speech at the open session of the Security Council regarding the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian issue, on Thursday: "Israel's aggression has exposed the barbarism of a vengeful racist mentality that disregards human values and disrespects international law, fueled by hatred, and its crimes enabled by international paralysis and selectivity in the application of international treaties."

Al-Safadi revealed that Israel has killed about 34,000 Palestinians, among them 13,000 children, and the same number of defenseless mothers, some by its bullets, and others by its siege, which weaponized hunger and torture as a form of revenge.

He stressed that "Israel has destroyed the Gaza Strip, but it has not broken the will of its people to live, nor has it killed the hope of its children for freedom, indicating that this will is evident in the face of an elderly Gazan who defies oppression and insists on not leaving the land of his ancestors, in which he was born and on which he will die."

He pointed out that "a free homeland is a right for the Palestinian people that will not die, because behind it is a whole nation demanding it. It will not be killed by the oppression of the occupation, or its wars, or its settlement, or the terrorism of its settlers, or attempts to change the historical and legal status of Islamic and Christian sanctities in Jerusalem and the siege of freedom of worship."

Al-Safadi noted that "peace, stability, and security will not be realized unless the dream of the children of Palestine and their right to an independent sovereign Palestinian state on Palestinian national soil is realized; this is the Palestinian right, and this is the truth that everyone who seeks security and peace for our region must recognize."

He explained that "occupation and peace are opposites that cannot coexist. There is no peace as long as the occupation remains. There is no security while Israeli injustice continues to deny the humanity of the Palestinian people and their right to life, freedom, dignity, security, and state."

Al-Safadi called on the United Nations Security Council to recognize the independent Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967 borders, with Jerusalem as its occupied capital, saying: "Accept the State of Palestine as a full member of the United Nations. Do this in support of the right, in victory for peace, in rejection of injustice, and as a shout against falsehood."
