Ayman Safadi, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs of Jordan, held talks with Toshimitsu Motegi of Japan on Wednesday, focusing on rising regional tensions and efforts to reinforce stability.

The discussion covered recent developments across the Middle East, with both sides exploring ways to deepen bilateral cooperation while coordinating international efforts aimed at restoring calm.

The ministers welcomed the ceasefire agreement between the United States and Iran, describing it as a positive step toward easing tensions. Safadi stressed that upcoming negotiations should lead to a comprehensive agreement that guarantees security, upholds international law, and addresses the underlying causes of conflict.

Attention was also given to the deteriorating situation in Lebanon, where Safadi called for an immediate end to Israeli military actions and reiterated support for the Lebanese government’s authority across its territory.

On the situation in the Gaza Strip, both ministers underscored the importance of maintaining stability and fully implementing ceasefire terms. Safadi also raised concerns over developments in the West Bank, warning that ongoing measures such as settlement expansion and land annexation risk undermining prospects for peace.

He emphasized the urgency of a coordinated international response to halt further escalation and revive meaningful peace efforts.
