Thousands of Jordanians Protest against Their Government’s Gas Deal with Zionist Entity

AMMAN-Thousands of people have staged a demonstration in Jordan to express their resentment over the government’s decision to sign a multi-billion-dollar gas deal with the Israeli regime.

The protesters gathered in downtown Amman following Friday prayers, and carried signs reading “The Enemy’s Gas is Occupation” and “No to the Shameful Deal” in Arabic, according to Press TV.

 The participants in the demonstration, organized at the invitation of parties and groupings from across Jordan’s political spectrum as well as trade unions, argued that the 10-billion-dollar gas deal struck this week by the government-owned electricity company to buy Israeli-supplied natural gas runs contrary to Jordan’s national interests, calling for its immediate abolition. They stated that this deal does not represent the Jordanian people.

Some protesters asked the government to stop this deal, because the government has other alternatives for energy resources and there is no excuse to have any economic deals with the Israeli occupation.
