Following the explosion of the pipeline in the Fiedra Fina region of Ecuador, the Ministry of Environment reported that the protected area in the Amazon forests was affected by the oil spill and legal action would be initiated against the company operating the pipeline that caused the oil spill. It was reported by the oil company that the pumping of crude oil was stopped on Saturday, and contracts were signed with three companies for cleaning and improvement works in the region.

After the rains that were effective in the Piedra Fina region last Friday, a falling rock smashed the OCP heavy crude oil pipeline in the region, and caused oil spill. An area of 21,000 square meters was affected by the leak. Another major oil spill occurred in the area in April 2020, after both the OCP and SOTE pipelines exploded due to erosion, and the area was heavily polluted.

Speaking at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, King Abdullah II of Jordan warned that Israel’s expansion of its offensive to include Iran threatens global security, stating, “It is impossible to say where the borders of this battlefield will end. This is a threat to people all over the world.”

He strongly criticized Israel’s actions in Gaza, saying, “Today, the world is in a state of moral collapse. What was once seen as an atrocity—like the bombing of a hospital—has become commonplace. Since then, the WHO has documented nearly 700 attacks on Gaza’s healthcare facilities.”

“The targeting of civilians, health workers, and journalists has become routine. Famine is being used as a weapon against children,” he added.

King Abdullah called on the international community to act not only in Ukraine but also in Palestine: “The world’s longest and most destructive conflict must end. Palestinians deserve freedom, sovereignty, and statehood, like all people.”

He warned that without decisive action, Israeli bulldozers “will also flatten the borders that define moral conduct.” Reaffirming Jordan’s commitment to peace, he said the only solution lies in a just peace based on international law and mutual recognition.
