Jordanian foreign minister says Israel a ‘rogue state’

Israel has turned into a "rogue" state with its assassination of Ismail Haniyeh and needs to be stopped, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said on Thursday at a press conference.

The killing of Hamas’ lead negotiator was a clear sign that Israel has decided to undermine the US-backed talks, according to Safadi.

"Yesterday, Israel assassinated Ismail Haniyeh. He was the one who was negotiating the exchange deal. So how on earth is a country that wants to conclude a deal killing the main interlocutor in those negotiations?" Safadi said.
