FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Jordanians oppose their country’s 1994 treaty with Israel as it has put them “at the mercy of” the Israeli regime, a political analyst tells Press TV.
“This is a peace agreement [that] has placed Jordan at the mercy of the Israelis. The relationship with… Israel has always been a source of anger for the Jordanians,” Naseer al-Omari said in a Saturday interview.
“The calls to expel the Israeli ambassador and to annul the 1994 peace agreement with Israel [are] among the things that Jordanians are in consensus about,” he noted.
The analyst argued that the Jordanian nation views the agreement as a means to secure the Jordanian regime in power.
Jordan has become the scene of anti-Israel protests since the Monday killing of Jordanian judge Raed Za’atar, who was shot dead at Allenby Bridge Terminal on the border between Jordan and the occupied West Bank.
The Israeli authorities who control the border claim Za’atar tried to grab a rifle from a soldier at the border crossing.
The killing sparked uproar in Jordan and triggered street protests across the country.
Jordanian protesters are calling on the government to expel the Israeli ambassador in Amman and annul Jordan’s 1994 peace treaty with the Israeli regime.
Earlier in the week, Jordanian MPs condemned the killing as a violation of the peace treaty, while lawyers and judges also staged a protest outside the Palace of Justice in Amman to demand the deportation of Israeli diplomats from the Arab country.
In February, the Jordanian parliament unanimously voted to expel the Israeli ambassador and recall Amman’s envoy after the Israeli parliament debated taking over a holy site in al-Quds (Jerusalem) administered by Jordanians.
But the non-binding vote has yet to prompt any action by the Jordanian cabinet.
