Jordan's Foreign Minister: events in Gaza qualify as genocide

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said on Monday that the events in Gaza were within the realm of the legal definition of genocide.

Safadi made the comments in a news conference at the Union for the Mediterranean summit held in Barcelona.

He reiterated a call for an extension for the current ceasefire in Gaza that was made by other participants to the summit and expressed regret that "some among us" refused to support that call.
