AMMAN, June 15 (Xinhua) -- Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi on Sunday emphasized the need to keep the ongoing Israeli offensive in Gaza and its humanitarian consequences at the center of international attention.
In a phone call with his Italian counterpart Antonio Tajani, Safadi said the Gaza crisis remains a key driver of instability in the region, and must be addressed as part of any broader effort to de-escalate region-wide tensions, according to a statement by the Jordanian Foreign Ministry.
His remarks came as the health authorities in Gaza reported that 65 people were killed and 315 others injured over the past 24 hours, amid continued Israeli airstrikes across the besieged enclave.
The two ministers discussed unified efforts to stop regional tensions and resume negotiations as a pathway toward resolving the Iranian nuclear issue.
Safadi and Tajani reaffirmed the strength of Jordanian-Italian relations, and expressed their commitment to enhancing bilateral cooperation. Enditem
