The Jordanian Parliament has requested its legal committee to conduct a review of agreements signed with Israel and make recommendations regarding them. This decision comes in the aftermath of the violent attacks on the Gaza Strip.
According to details provided by the state-owned channel “Al-Mamlaka,” the Speaker of the House, Ahmed Safadi, called upon the legal committee to present proposals for the review of agreements signed with Israel to the government, a move that received unanimous approval from the parliament.
Moreover, Safadi urged the legal committee to “establish a framework for filing an official complaint with the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate and hold accountable for war crimes and atrocities committed in Gaza.”
He also emphasized the importance of extending this initiative to other Arab and Islamic parliaments.
Safadi stated, “The parliament will continue its work with regular sessions, prioritizing Gaza and other key issues. Our commitment to upholding the state’s institutions and ensuring their continued operation is our strength and, consequently, the strength of Palestine and its resilient people.”
Additionally, he affirmed that the parliament, in coordination with the government and the military, would work to increase the number of field hospitals in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.
The decision by the Jordanian Parliament to review agreements with Israel reflects the growing concerns and reactions within the region following the recent conflict in Gaza.
The violence and humanitarian crisis in Gaza have prompted Jordan, like other nations in the Middle East, to reevaluate its stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
This move also aligns with international efforts to investigate potential war crimes and human rights violations during the recent conflict.
The call for ICC involvement underscores the gravity of the situation and the need for accountability.
