For his part, Safadi warned that any Israeli annexation of Palestinian territories, which is a flagrant violation of international law, may lead to institutionalized apartheid in Palestine.

"Jordan will continue working with international partners to prevent the annexation and save the region from drowning in further conflict," he said.
