Lower House Speaker Ahmad Safadi Monday called on its Legal Committee to review agreements signed with Israel and pass recommendations to the government to be conditional on stopping the aggression against Gaza.
Safadi also called on the Legal Committee to draw up a framework to file a complaint with the International Criminal Court through official channels to probe and hold accountable those who committed war crimes and genocide in Gaza, and to circulate this proposal to Arab and Muslim parliaments.
At the outset of a session on the latest developments in the "brutal" Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, which was attended by members of the government team, Safadi said that His Majesty King Abdullah's efforts led to a change in international public opinion, which had followed Israel’s false narrative.
He also referred to His Royal Highness Crown Prince Al Hussein bin Abdullah's follow-up on the Jordanian field hospital and the delivery of aid to the people in Gaza, as well as Her Majesty Queen Rania's remarks which had an impact on the West's public opinion.
Safadi saluted Palestine and its people's steadfastness in resisting the "ugliest occupation in history," adding that human values and international law are meaningless and worthless as Israel committed massacres and genocide in Gaza.
"What is happening is a disgrace and shame on the international community," he said, adding that continued aggression, killing children and women and bombing hospitals, schools, mosques and churches is a war crime and collective punishment under heavenly laws and international conventions.
The escalating and brutal Israeli aggression against Palestinians, Safadi warned, will "inevitably pull the region into the abyss," adding that since the start of the war, His Majesty King Abdullah has called for stopping the machine of war and destruction and fulfilling the just right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
He called for a solid and united internal front against conspiracies, urging Jordanians to stand behind their leadership and security forces as the country will remain a staunch defender of Palestine, upholding its constants on Palestine and the Arab identity of Jerusalem and rejecting the displacement of Palestinians, which will have dire consequences.
Safadi also called for more medical and food aid to Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
