“There is no mission and we withdrew in conformity with the Arab League decision,” Judeh told Reuters.
The Arab League said on Saturday it had suspended its mission in Syria due to rising violence, but has yet to formally declare the mission over. However, Gulf states had withdrawn their monitors last week, saying the team could not stop the violence — which Assad blames on foreign-backed militants.
Jordan, which has a long border with Syria, had accepted the Arab League peace plan for Syria, which calls for President Bashar al-Assad to step down in favour of a unity government. But it fears antagonising Assad and also is concerned that instability might spill over its frontier.
King Abdullah has also said his country opposed foreign intervention in his northern neighbour.
