Jordan calls for UN Security Council to impose arms embargo on Israel

Jordan has called on the UN Security Council to impose a total arms embargo on Israel, citing its attacks on Palestinian and Lebanese civilians, UN peacekeepers, journalists, humanitarian workers, and Lebanese soldiers. 

"Countries that truly want an end to the dangerous regional escalation and seek peace and security in the Middle East must immediately stop supplying Israel with the weapons it is using in its aggressions," Jordan's foreign minister Ayman Safadi wrote on X. 

He warned if arms supplies to Israel did not stop, "this radical Israeli government will further undermine the credibility of international law and institutions, and drag the region deeper into the abyss of an all out regional war".
