Jordan’s Foreign Ministry says a planned visit to Ramallah by an Arab ministerial delegation has been called off today due to Israeli obstruction, Al Jazeera reports.

In a statement, the ministry said the delegation — including ministers from Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE — was forced to cancel after Israel denied access through the airspace over the occupied West Bank, which it controls.

The delegation condemned the move as a “blatant violation” that “reflects the arrogance of the Israeli government” and its “disregard for international law”, according to the statement.

Earlier, an Israeli official told Reuters that Israel would “not cooperate” with the planned visit, fearing it would promote the establishment of a Palestinian state.
