A senior Jordanian official told Al Jazeera Net that Amman rejected an Israeli request to move aid through Jordanian territory to Syria’s Sweida province, insisting that any relief operations must be coordinated with the Syrian government and follow internationally recognized channels.

The statement aligns with a Axios report citing U.S. and Israeli officials, which said Israel resorted to airdropping the aid after Jordan’s refusal.

The development comes alongside a high-level trilateral meeting in Amman between Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Al-Shibani, and U.S. Special Envoy to Syria Tom Barrack. The talks resulted in forming a joint Syrian-Jordanian-U.S. working group to support a ceasefire in Sweida and address the province’s ongoing crisis, at Damascus’s request.
