Jordan's anti-Israelism is brimming up again
No doubt, in revenge for the USA's recognition of Jerusalem, Jordan's king and his staff are stopping a deal made with Israel back in 1994:
Jordan’s King Abdullah II announced on Sunday he would not renew part of the 1994 peace treaty that granted Israel use of two small agricultural areas along the border.But Israel's not allowed to practice the same, eh? And the land they speak of may be Israeli historically, which is why the Jordanian conduct is all the more a disgrace. No doubt, they won't even maintain the areas well, reverting it back to desert territory as a result, and that's one more reason why they don't deserve it. And to be sure, they were waiting for the perfect moments to back out of treaties that didn't lead anywhere.
In a statement, Abdullah said he would be pulling out of two sectioned annexed to the peace agreement that allowed Israel to lease the areas from the Jordanians for 25 years. The leases expire next year.
Abdullah said he had informed Israel of his decision.
“We are practicing our full sovereignty on our land,” he said. “Our priority in these regional circumstances is to protect our interests and do whatever is required for Jordan and the Jordanians.”
