Lower House speaker hails int’l crackdown on Israeli settlement goods, policies

Amman, Sept. 9 (Petra) – Lower House Speaker Mazen Qadi commended the
“growing” international action against illegal Israeli policies in
the occupied Palestinian territories on Wednesday.

Commending 12 countries decision to impose restrictions on Israeli
settlement goods and services, Qadi said the move as an “explicit
rejection of Israel’s unilateral policies on the ground.” He noted
that such measures remain consistent with international law and UN
Security Council Resolution 2334.

In a Lower House satement, he said: “Real peace hinges on ending the
occupation and securing an independent Palestinian state,” Qadi
emphasized.

He also urged action against settlement expansion, land confiscation,
and settler violence, calling them “systematic” threats to the
two-state solution.

Voicing Jordan’s position under His Majesty King Abdullah II, Qadi
affirmed the Kingdom’s commitment to diplomatic and legal efforts to
defend Palestinian rights, protect Islamic and Christian holy sites
in Jerusalem, and push back against Israeli escalation in the
occupied West Bank and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

He urged the global community to move beyond verbal condemnation and
implement concrete measures against the Israeli government, warning
that continued violations will only drag the region into deeper
conflict.
