Amman, May 31 (Petra) – Jordan on Saturday condemned the continued
Israeli aggression against Lebanon, the expansion of Israel’s ground
incursion into southern Lebanese territory and the targeting of
civilians.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates said the actions
constitute a blatant violation of Lebanon’s sovereignty, a flagrant
breach of international law and international humanitarian law and a
dangerous escalation that threatens regional security and stability
while undermining efforts to de-escalate tensions.

The ministry called for an immediate halt to Israeli attacks on
Lebanon, the consolidation of the ceasefire agreement and full
implementation of all provisions of United Nations Security Council
Resolution 1701.

Ministry spokesperson Fouad Majali reaffirmed Jordan’s unwavering
support for Lebanon, its security, stability, sovereignty and the
safety of its citizens.

He reiterated Jordan’s support for the Lebanese government’s efforts
to extend its authority over all Lebanese territory, strengthen state
institutions and ensure that arms remain exclusively under state
control.

Majali underscored the responsibility of the international community
to take a firm stance that compels Israel to end its violations and
attacks on Lebanon and to comply with international law and
international humanitarian law.

He called for intensified international efforts to provide
humanitarian assistance and support the Lebanese government in
meeting the needs of more than one million people displaced from
their villages and towns as a result of the ongoing aggression.
