Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi told the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday that his country could not afford another war in the neighboring Israeli-occupied Palestinian West Bank, according to Reuters.

The Israeli military launched an operation in Jenin on Tuesday.

The offensive came one day after the inauguration of US President Donald Trump and just days after a ceasefire deal paused fighting between the Jewish state and the Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip.

The Israeli assault has killed at least 10 Palestinians and injured 40 more, according to the Ramallah-based Palestinian health ministry.
