BAKU, Azerbaijan, October 26. United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Jordan’s Foreign Minister, Ayman Safadi, on Friday in London, where the Arab leader accused Israel of engaging in ethnic cleansing in Gaza, TurkicWorld reports with reference to Asharq Al-Awsat.
"The only path to save the region from that is for Israel to stop the aggressions on Gaza, on Lebanon, stop unilateral illegal measures of the West Bank that is also pushing this situation," Safadi said.
"We meet at a very, very critical moment, as you mentioned, the humanitarian situation is really difficult when we look at Northern Gaza, where we do see ethnic cleansing taking place, and that has got to stop," he said.
Safadi is one of many Arab leaders with whom Blinken has met with as he took negotiations over a ceasefire in Gaza and a post war plan on a tour of the Middle East.
Safadi did not mince words Friday when describing Israel’s role in the conflicts, saying mediators are trying to "get through the nightmare that the region continues to live in."
