Amman, July 28 (Petra) – Minister of Foreign and Expatriates Affairs
Ayman Safadi and Algeria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, National
Community Abroad, and African Affairs, Ahmed Attaf, discussed ties
and cooperation.

In a telephone conversation on Tuesday, Safadi and Attaf discussed
the situation in the occupied West Bank resulting from illegal
Israeli measures, including escalating settler violence, settlement
expansion and repeated violations targeting the sanctity of the
Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The two ministers condemned the illegal Israeli measures in the
occupied West Bank and Israel’s systematic attempts to alter the
historical and legal status quo in Jerusalem and its Islamic and
Christian holy sites. They warned of the catastrophic consequences of
these actions.

Safadi and Attaf reviewed ongoing efforts to de-escalate tensions in
the region, reaffirming their support for these initiatives.

They called for building on de-escalation efforts through an
agreement that secures a ceasefire between the United States and
Iran, ensures freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and
contributes to achieving lasting security and stability.
