Jordan on Wednesday said it would "immediately" recall its ambassador to Israel in protest at the war against Gaza's Hamas rulers trigged by the fighter group's October 7 attacks.

"Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi decided to immediately recall Jordan's ambassador to Israel," the foreign ministry said, adding that the move was "to condemn the Israeli war that is killing innocent people in Gaza".

On the other hand, Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant on Wednesday said Hamas has to "die or to surrender unconditionally" in the war the two sides are fighting in Gaza.

"There is no third option," Gallant said in a televised speech, addressing the fighter group which rules Gaza.
