AMMAN, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- Jordan said on Monday the escalation in Gaza Strip was serious and called for immediate action to halt the "Israeli aggression."

Jordan's Minister of State for Media Affairs Jumana Ghunaimat condemned the "Israeli aggression" on Gaza Strip that resulted in the killing of many Gazans, according to a report by the state-owned Petra news agency.

The minister underlined the need to address the situation in Gaza in line with a comprehensive political solution that ensures the return of the Palestinians and the Israelis to the table of negotiations to resolve the conflict on the basis of the two-state solution.

Such a solution, she said, is the only way to Middle East peace and stability.

The Jordanian official said the escalation will only increase tension and violence.

She underlined the need for stopping the aggression, exercising self-restraint and taking practical measures to end the humanitarian suffering in Gaza.
