Jordan’s top diplomat says Netanyahu should not hold future of the region ‘hostage’
NPRJordan’s top diplomat says Netanyahu should not hold future of the region ‘hostage’ toggle caption Jordan Pix/Getty Images Jordan’s deputy prime minister Ayman Safadi blames Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for holding back peace talks in the Middle East as its fight with Hezbollah intensifies. What's getting in the way of the other cease-fire deal, the deal that would stop the violence in Gaza, return the hostages taken from Israel and bring the region back from the brink? So this government is hurting Israel, is hurting the region, is killing Palestinians, is putting the region on a very, very dangerous path towards total regional war. So basically, we want consequences, we want implementation of international law, and we want action that will stop this war and put us all on a path towards peace that will, again, provide security and safety to both Palestinians and Israelis in the whole region.
