[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] On 19th anniversary, Jordanians call to tear up peace treaty with Israel

Ammon News reports:

[The main [opposition party is calling for expelling the Israeli ambassador from Amman and cancelling the 1994 Wadi Araba Peace Treaty with Israel, a statement said on Saturday.

They called on Jordanians to boycott Israeli products and support the Palestinians in their steadfastness and confrontation of the racist policies adopted by Israel and called for shutting down the Israeli embassy.

They also called on the Jordanian government to release the former soldier Ahmad Dagamseh (who is serving a life sentence for the March 13, 1997 killing of seven Israeli schoolgirls in the Baqoura area on the Jordanian-Israeli border), and reconsider its alliance with the United States' administration.

The Arabic article adds more accusations by the critics, saying that Israel plans to divide up the Temple Mount and build a new Temple there, and that Israel is not abiding by the peace agreement which, they say, allows Jordan to administer the holy places of Jerusalem. (It doesn't.)

The group also calls for Palestinians in Jordan to "return" to Israel. Since most of these are citizens of Jordan, their objective to ethnically cleanse Jordan of its Palestinian population is fairly transparent.

The Muslim Brotherhood held a rally on Saturday as well, which also called to repeal the peace treaty. They claimed over 10,000 attended the rally.

The Jordanian Democratic Popular Unity party similarly called for the peace treaty to be repealed. In their statement they stated that Zionists are the main enemy of Arabs, and anything that makes it appear otherwise is, naturally,  a Zionist plot.

The JordanZad newspaper editorializes how proud it is that ordinary Jordanians never normalized relations with Israel and that they have been adhering to a boycott of Israeli goods since 2010.
