Jordan condemns IDF killing of Islamic Jihad commander
Jordan's foreign ministry condemns the IDF killing of an Islamic Jihad commander in the Gaza Strip.
Daifallah al-Fayez, a spokesman for the Jordanian foreign ministry, blamed Israel for the ensuing escalation in violence.
He said the fighting "will only increase tension and violence, deepen the environment of despair and promote extremist agendas in the region."
He called for Israel and the Palestinians to return to negotiations, saying that talks, along with an end to the Israeli-Egyptian blockade on the territory, could bring a solution to Gaza's woes.
