AMMAN, October 22, 2025 (WAFA) – The Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates condemned the Israeli Knesset's preliminary approval of two draft laws, one aiming to impose Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank, and the other to legalize sovereignty over an illegal settlement.
It described the move as a flagrant violation of international law and an undermining of the two-state solution and the inalienable right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and the establishment of their independent, sovereign state on the June 4, 1967, lines, with occupied Jerusalem as its capital.
The Ministry stressed that Israel has no sovereignty over the occupied Palestinian territory.
Ministry Spokesperson Fuad Majali affirmed the Kingdom's absolute rejection and strong condemnation of any Israeli attempts to impose sovereignty over the occupied West Bank, in flagrant violation of international law and UN Security Council resolutions, particularly Resolution 2334, which condemns all Israeli measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character, and status of the Palestinian territory occupied since 1967, including East Jerusalem.
He also referred to the Advisory Opinion of the International Court of Justice, which affirmed the illegality of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territory and the invalidity of settlement construction and annexation measures in the occupied West Bank.
He warned against the continuation of unilateral, illegal Israeli policies that violate international law and relevant UN resolutions, reiterating that all Israeli measures in the occupied West Bank and its violations of Islamic and Christian holy sites in occupied Jerusalem are illegitimate and illegal.
Majali called on the international community to assume its legal and moral responsibilities, compel Israel to halt its dangerous escalation and illegal measures in the occupied West Bank, and fulfill the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people to establish an independent state on their national soil.
The only path to achieve a just and comprehensive peace that ensures security and stability in the region.
