DUBAI: Jordan will not take part in any military deployment in the Gaza Strip or the occupied West Bank following the current conflict, Jordanian Minister of Government Communication Mohammad Momani said, according to remarks published by the Jordan Times.
Speaking on Jordan TV’s “60 Minutes,” Momani said the Kingdom’s focus will remain on humanitarian assistance aimed at easing what he described as large-scale suffering among Palestinians in Gaza.
He emphasized Jordan’s support for efforts that help Palestinians secure their “legitimate right” to an independent state.
“We will not have any military roles in Gaza and the West Bank,” Momani said, reiterating that Amman’s involvement will be limited to relief and diplomatic support.
His comments follow the announcement of a US-brokered Gaza peace agreement, which includes provisions for an international force to oversee security and enforce the ceasefire in the territory.
In recent days US President Donald Trump has said multiple regional countries have expressed interest in being part of an international transitional force in the territory.
Momani also criticized moves by Israeli legislators seeking to extend Israeli sovereignty over the occupied West Bank, calling the effort a “hostile policy.”
He noted international opposition to annexation plans and welcomed US statements signaling that Israel should not proceed.
Trump said the US will end its support for Israel if its parliament voted to pass a bill giving it sovereignty over the West Bank.
Israeli lawmakers recently granted preliminary approval to a bill to impose sovereignty on the territory, drawing condemnation from Jordan and 14 other Arab and Islamic states.

US embassy in Kuwait was struck by drones: three diplomats to AFP
KUWAIT: The US embassy in Kuwait was struck by drones, three diplomatic sources told AFP after smoke was seen rising from the diplomatic mission earlier on Monday.
One Kuwait-based diplomat and a Western diplomat, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the embassy had been damaged by a number of drones while a second Kuwait-based diplomat said the embassy building had been struck directly in the attack.
As an AFP correspondent saw smoke rising from the diplomatic mission on Iran’s third day of retaliatory Gulf attacks, the US embassy said that people should not come to the facility, warning of “a continuing threat of missile and UAV (drone) attacks over Kuwait.”
