Jordan condemns ‘barbaric’ Israeli airstrikes on Gaza

PressTV - Jordan condemns ‘barbaric’ Israeli airstrikes on Gaza:

 The Jordanian government has condemned the “barbaric aggression” of the Tel Aviv regime in its latest airstrikes on the impoverished Gaza Strip, leaving scores of Palestinians dead and injured.

Amman government spokesperson Rakan Majali said in a statement issued on Sunday that Jordan “rejects such a barbaric aggression against unarmed Palestinians.”

Eighteen Palestinians, including a 12-year-old boy, have been killed by Israeli airstrikes on the besieged territory since Friday.

At least 35 more Palestinians, including nine children, were injured in the latest round of Israeli aerial attacks against Gaza during the early hours of Monday.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu boasted on Sunday the Tel Aviv regime will continue airstrikes against Gaza “as long as necessary.”

Majali added that the Israeli regime “keeps using its security fears as pretext to kill Palestinians in Gaza. This does not fool anyone anymore.”

Jordan “holds Israel responsible for the outcome of this escalation in Gaza,” according to the Jordanian government statement.

“The Israeli government must immediately stop its attacks on Palestinians,” added the statement.
