CAIRO: Jordan and Turkiye have continued to urge action to stop the Israeli war on Gaza and the conflict in Lebanon.
Jordan’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ayman Safadi and his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan have agreed in Ankara on the priority of stopping the Israeli war on Gaza, according to Petra News Agency.
Safadi said on Tuesday: “We are continuing our joint coordination and permanent cooperation to achieve our goal of stopping the brutal Israeli aggression on Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon and achieving a just and comprehensive peace.”
He said “all indications show that Israel wants to empty northern Gaza of its residents by targeting hospitals and even the only operating bakery in northern Gaza,” adding, “This is a war crime, whether in preventing food and medicine from reaching Gaza or using starvation as a weapon. Israel’s ethnic cleansing is also another war crime.”
On Israel’s war in Lebanon, Safadi said: “We see the Israeli aggression continuing, and what happened proves that what Israel wants is far beyond what it claims to guarantee its security
Meanwhile, Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmus has decried what he termed an “artificial intelligence-assisted genocide” in Gaza during a speech he delivered in Geneva.
“We are dismayed by the ongoing artificial intelligence-assisted genocide in Gaza,” Kurtulmus said, as cited by Hurriyet Daily News.
“We are appalled by reports revealing how technology is being intentionally misused by Israel to conduct indiscriminate attacks on civilians.”
The speaker condemned what he called “techno-brutality,” and spoke on the impact of Israeli airstrikes on Gaza using these technologies, which have led to “the atrocities of catastrophic proportions and the scale of mass destruction.”
