LONDON — Jordan, one of the United States' closest allies in the Middle East, confronted Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday with a stark and unwelcome assessment: Israel is ethnically cleansing Palestinians from Gaza.

Blinken was in London after holding meetings in Israel, Saudi Arabia and Qatar, during which he pressed the need for a cease-fire and the return of hostages being held by Hamas in Gaza.

"We do see ethnic cleansing taking place" in Gaza, Blinken's Jordanian counterpart, Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, said, speaking to the American delegation in front of journalists. "It has got to stop."

Safadi added that the Israeli government “is not listening to anybody” and the situation in Gaza is “only getting worse.”

The U.S. is Israel's most important ally and its largest supplier of weapons, and it has resisted calls to stop the flow of armaments to the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. .................................................
