ALBAWABA - The Jordanian Army released a statement denying allegations of allowing the U.S. Army to use Jordanian army bases to send aid to Israel amid aggression on Gaza, PETRA news reported on Tuesday.

A military source in the Jordan Armed Forces said that allegations that a U.S. military aircraft took off from a Jordanian military base are "unsubstantiated".

The source further noted that the aircraft "in question was a passenger aircraft that had requested to pass through Jordanian airspace two days ago and was granted a transit permit in accordance with the legal procedures governing international air traffic."

Nevertheless, the military source also reaffirmed Jordan's positions and continuous efforts to support the Palestinian cause and the sacrifices of the Jordanian armed forces to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people and their right to freedom and an independent state.
