Jordan's king says Israeli actions in Gaza and West Bank 'negate human values'

Jordan's King Abdullah said on Tuesday that Israel's military campaigns in Gaza and army operations in the West Bank "negate human values and the right to life."

In remarks carried on state media, the monarch who again called for an end to the war, said the Israeli siege on the enclave that prevented for weeks the entry of medicine, food, and fuel and cut electricity supplies, amounted to war crimes.

"These are war crimes.. we cannot stay silent," the monarch said.
