Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi criticized the Israeli government's "extreme racist agenda" on Monday, stating that it "challenges the world by refusing to accept the two-state solution to end the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians." Safadi told reporters on the sidelines of a European Union foreign ministers’ meeting in Brussels that "the only way out of this tragedy is the two-state solution... They are challenging the entire international community, and it is time for the world to take a stand."
