The government of Jordan has issued a warning following the heavy exchange of fire between Israel and Lebanon, expressing concerns that the situation could potentially escalate into a broader conflict involving Israel, Iran, and its proxies in the Middle East. The country's foreign ministry emphasized the importance of preventing further escalation and called for unified efforts to de-escalate the tensions in order to safeguard the region from the looming threat of a regional war.
In a statement released on Sunday, the ministry's spokesperson, Ambassador Sufian Qudah, highlighted the significance of adhering to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701. This resolution outlines a set of measures aimed at reducing tensions in southern Lebanon, where the Islamist paramilitary group Hezbollah is based.
