Jordanian MPs Agree to Expel Zionist Ambassador

International

Amman- (ST)- The Jordanian parliament has agreed unanimously to expel the ambassador of the Zionist entity in Amman in retaliation for the Israeli violations in Al-Aqsa mosque.

The Jordanian News Agency reported that that the Jordanian parliament voted unanimously on Wednesday to ask the government to expel Israel’s ambassador to Jordan and to call back Jordan’s ambassador from occupied Palestine, Walid Abidat, in protest for the Israeli violations in al-Aqsa mosque.  

Earlier on Wednesday, Israeli soldiers prevented Palestinians from going into al-Aqsa mosque on the occasion of the “al-Quds Day” and wounded five in clashes. Palestinian Muslims, barred from entering the mosque, held a protest by performing noon prayer at entrance gates of the mosque.

According to the agency, Jordanian Premier Abdullah al-Nasour described Israel’s measures in al-Aqsa as evil plans.      

“The cabinet is looking into what Israel has done in Masjid al-Aqsa,” al-Nasour said.”As a first step, we will ask our ambassador Walid Abidat to send a letter of protest to the Israeli government. If this issue is not resolved soon, we will appeal to the United Nations Security Council,” he added.

The decision of the parliament is constitutionally non-binding until ratified by the King, the agency said.

During the parliament session, a number of MPs urged war against Israel, and earlier 26 MPs called for reconsidering the Jordanian-Israeli “peace” agreement.

In a statement to “al-Mayadeen” channel, Jordanian MP Hasan Abidat said that the Parliament’s decisions provided for cancelling Wadi Araba (Araba valley) agreement between Jordan and Israel, halting normalization with the Zionist enemy, closing the Jordanian airspace before the Israeli flights and reconsidering Jordan’s policy towards Israel.

The Parliament’s decisions came hours after the Israeli occupation forces had arrested the General Mufti of al-Quds and the Palestinian lands.

Al-Aqsa Mosque is located in the Eastern part of occupied al-Quds which was annexed by Israel in 1967 in a blatant violation of international laws.
