Jordan's lower house Wednesday blasted the U.S. over its recent raid into Syria, local daily the Jordan Times reported on Thursday.
Lawmakers described the raid as arrogant and called on Arab countries to condemn the action.
"The attack on Syria is an attack on every inch of the Arab world and means that no Arab land is safe from U.S. attacks," said a statement read by Deputy Najeh Momani.
The statement was made in a session of parliament, which was designed for Q&A with the government but MPs took the opportunity to condemn the U.S. aggression on Syria, describing it as a terrorist strike.
The national bloc also criticized the government's reaction to the event as "disappointing", considering the grave political and humanitarian implications the assault had on the neighboring Arab country.
Jordan's government said on Tuesday the attack constitutes a violation of Syrian sovereignty, two days after the official Syrian media reported that American helicopter-borne troops launched an assault on a building in a Syrian village along the border with Iraq, killing eight civilians.
