JAKARTA - Jordan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Kemenlu) strongly condemns Israel's decision to prohibit foreign ministers from Arab countries from entering Palestinian territory.

Jordan called Israel's actions a form of arrogance and blatant violation of international law.

In its official statement, the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs considered Israel's ban to violate its obligations as a power of occupation.

"The delegation expresses a joint stance affirming that Israel's decision to prevent a visit to Ramallah to meet Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and other Palestinian officials constitutes a marked violation of Israel's obligations as a occupation force," the statement read, quoted from Sputnik via Antara, Sunday, June 1.

In addition, according to the statement, the prevention of the visit also reflects the level of arrogance and non-compliance of the Israeli government against international law.

As a result of the ban, a joint delegation from the Arab League (LAS) and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) were forced to cancel their official visit to Ramallah which had been previously scheduled.

The day before, media The Times of Israel reported that Israel had banned the visit of foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and Turkey to the Palestinian-controlled West Bank region.

The diplomats are scheduled to arrive in Sunday to hold a high-level meeting with the Palestinian authorities.
