Jordan Parliament Slams Zionist Entity for ‘State Terrorism’

Jordan has slammed the Israeli regime for committing “state terrorism” against the Palestinians, following the fatal shooting of seven Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip by Israeli forces.

Jordan has slammed the Israeli regime for committing “state terrorism” against the Palestinians, following the fatal shooting of seven Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip by Israeli occupation forces.

"The Israeli enemy, sapping the rights of the Palestinians on their own lands... and over their holy places, is exercising state terrorism before the eyes of the whole world," the Jordanian parliament said in a statement released on Saturday.

The Jordanian lawmakers also denounced the crimes that Israeli forces have committed in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

On Friday, six Palestinians were killed and 145 others were injuries after Israeli forces opened fire on a group of Palestinian protesters in eastern Gaza.

The Jordanian parliament, meanwhile, said "barbaric and racist" actions of the Israeli military that have violated international and humanitarian laws have caused the casualties on the part of the Palestinians.

They also condemned inaction of the international community in the face of the Tel Aviv regime’s violence, adding that it is not lifting “a finger to halt these racist and detestable policies” of Israel, which are “pushing the region and world towards more violence and instability.”

There has been growing confrontation between Israelis and Palestinians, triggered by Tel Aviv’s imposition on August 26 of sweeping restrictions on entries into the compound of the al-Aqsa Mosque in East al-Quds (Jerusalem) and Israeli settlers’ repeated storming of the mosque.

Since yesterday morning, seven Palestinians were killed during and after demonstrations in Gaza, Muhammad al-Jaabari, 19, was shot after allegedly stabbing an Israeli border policeman in a Hebron settlement, and Ahmad Salah, 24, was killed during clashes in Shufat.
