Former Jordanian minister: October 7 is "not the cause," but the result of a “seven decades old problem” - i.e., Israel’s creation
Former Jordanian Minister of Government Communications and Minister of State for Media Affairs Faisal Shboul: “When the occupation (i.e., Israeli) government, and behind it many of the Western states, tried to say that Oct. 7, [2023] (i.e., Hamas’ massacre) is the root of the problem, Jordan said clearly that Oct. 7 is a result and not the cause. It is a result of a problem that is more than seven decades old (i.e., Israel’s creation)... It is a result of non-recognition of the Palestinian people’s rights to establish its state in its land.”
