Jordan condemns the attack by Israeli settlers on two aid convoys on their way to Gaza

Jordan – The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned in the strongest terms the attack by Israeli settlers on two Jordanian aid convoys carrying food and flour to the Gaza Strip.

The Ministry considered: “The failure of the Israeli government to protect the two aid convoys and allowing them to be attacked is a brutal violation of its legal obligations, as the occupying power, and of its obligations to allow aid to enter Gaza.”

The Ministry’s official spokesman, Ambassador Sufyan Al-Qudah, said, “The extremists’ attack on the two convoys and the failure of the Israeli authorities to provide protection for them undermine all the Israeli government’s claims and obligations to allow aid to enter Gaza, including through the Erez crossing.”

The judges held “the Israeli authorities fully responsible for this crime, and called on the international community to take a clear international position condemning it and requiring Israel to fulfill its legal obligations and ensure the protection of aid convoys and the international organizations working to receive and distribute them.”

The two aid convoys were organized by the Jordanian Hashemite Charity Organization in cooperation with (Tkiyet Um Ali, the World Food Program “WFP”, the “Human Appeal” organization based in Britain, the “Al-Imdad Charity” organization based in South Africa, and the “IMC” organization based in the United States. They were attacked at dawn. On Wednesday, two settlers were attacked on their way to the Beit Hanoun (Erez) crossing and the Kerem Shalom crossing, and some of their cargo was thrown into the streets, causing material damage to the trucks.

The two convoys continued their mission and reached their destinations after the attack, according to the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
