Israel should allow displaced Palestinians in Gaza to return to their homes, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi has said, Reuters reports.

Speaking at a joint press conference with Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan in Amman, Safadi also said it was essential to end the conflict in Gaza and avert an escalation of violence in the wider region.

“With regard to the current priorities, they are clear: ending the aggression in Gaza, letting in sufficient permanent humanitarian aid to all parts of the Strip, south and north, stopping the destruction, and working immediately for the return of displaced Gazans to their areas and homes,” Safadi said.

Armed groups backed by Iran have launched attacks in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen in solidarity with the Palestinians.
