AMMAN, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) -- Jordan's Foreign Minister Salahddin al-Bashir on Monday called for more international efforts to pressure Israel to abide by UN resolution on Gaza ceasefire, said the Foreign Ministry.

    The minister summoned ambassadors including envoys from EU to convey Jordan's condemnation of the aggression and its extreme worry over hundreds of victims and thousands of people injured in Israeli strikes especially innocent children and women.

    Al-Bashir said the past days have seen Israel's flagrant violations against the international law, including its refusal to implement the international resolutions, the brutal use of the internationally banned weapons and the indiscriminate shelling of heavily populated areas.

    This, he said, reflects the intransigence and disregard for all international laws, including the international humanitarian law. It also reflects Israel's disavowal of responsibility as a member in the United Nations and of its responsibility as an occupier to provide protection to people living in areas under occupation, he added.

    Al-Bashir stressed that the international community has a duty to take a serious and effective action to exert pressure to compel Israel to stop its aggression immediately and to implement the 1860 UN resolution, which calls for an immediate cessation of military operations and allow the movement of diplomatic efforts to bring security and stability in the region.

    He warned that the continued aggression against the Palestinian people in Gaza will bring serious and devastating consequences for the peace efforts to reach the two-state solution.

    Bashir affirmed to the ambassadors that the public and government anger and resentment will "prompt us to continue the diplomatic efforts internationally and regionally to put an end to this aggression."

    Over 900 Palestinians in the impoverished Gaza Strip have been killed and more than 4,000 others wounded since the launch of the Israeli raid on Gaza from December 27, last year, which Israel said was aimed at revenging Hamas rocket and mortar attacks.
