The United States and other top powers need to use their influence with Israel to end the ongoing “carnage” in Gaza, Jordan’s Prime Minister, Bisher al Khasawaneh, said on Friday.
Jordan, which shares a border with the occupied West Bank, has been highly critical of Israel’s bombardments of Gaza with Khasawaneh saying on Friday that they “ticked all the boxes of war crimes against humanity.”
Israel has denied allegations that it has committed war crimes.
Khasawaneh said heavyweight international diplomacy and influence was needed to secure a ceasefire.
“Leadership is needed from our American friends and our American partners, and from various capitals in the world, that can influence the decision making process in Israel in genuine terms to bring this carnage to an end,” the Jordanian prime minister said at an event at the London School of Economics.
