Jordan’s Foreign Ministry has issued a statement condemning comments made by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backing the creation of “Greater Israel”, which includes Jordan and Egypt.
During an interview on Tuesday with i24 News, Netanyahu was presented with an amulet depicting “a map of the Promised Land” by interviewer Sharon Gal.
Gal then asked the prime minister whether he felt connected to this vision of Greater Israel.
“Very much,” Netanyahu replied.
While the amulet itself did not appear on screen, the term “Greater Israel” is widely understood to refer to a far-reaching expansionist vision.
The minstry spokesperson, Sufyan Qudah, said the comments were a dangerous and provocative escalation, a threat to the sovereignty of states, and a violation of international law and the United Nations Charter.
He called on the international communty to intervene to stop similar provocative Israeli statements and actions, which threaten stability in the region.
