Jordanian FM in Beirut Says Israeli Escalation Risks ‘Regional War’

Jordan’s Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi warned Monday that “Israeli aggression” was pushing the region towards the “abyss” of full-blown war, during a visit to Lebanon, where Israel says it is striking Hezbollah targets.

“The Israeli aggression... which started in Gaza and now has continued into Lebanon is pushing the whole region into the abyss of full-blown regional war,” Safadi told a news conference in Beirut.
