United Nations, December 9 (RHC)-- Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi reiterated his call for the passage of a UN Security Council resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza "because the message is, if they do not, it is simply an endorsement of what Israel is doing."

"And what Israel has been doing is simply killing people, destroying their livelihoods, denying them food and water, jeopardizing the security of the whole region, undermining the interest of its own allies in our part of the world, hurting its own people by contributing to an environment in which it will deny its own people to live in peace," Safadi told CNN's Jim Sciutto on "CNN Newsroom" on Max. 

Safadi said Israel has not been adhering to the red lines that the U.S. has described for post-war Gaza.   Asked if the U.S. is losing its credibility among its Arab allies, Safadi said:  "All of us are losing our credibility."

"We are losing credibility in front of our people because our own people are looking at us and saying, 'OK, you're demanding that Israel stop.  It's not.  The whole international community has failed to act in any meaningful manner to stop the massacre,'" he said.  "So, everybody's losing credibility.  Moderation is losing credibility.  The camp of peace is losing credibility.  So, that is a danger with which we were going to have to reckon at some point or the other."
