Jerusalem, February 01: A Jordanian committee, encompassing opposition parties and professional associations, has urged the government to scrap its peace treaty with Israel.
“We urge the Jordanian government and other Arab states that signed peace treaties with the Zionist enemy to abolish these treaties as they are considered a declaration of surrender and the public was not consulted about these treaties,” Jordan’s Higher Executive Committee for Defending the Homeland and Confronting Normalization said in a statement on Sunday.
Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel in 1979. Jordan signed the Wadi Araba Peace treaty with Israel in 1994.
The committee said that “normalization gives legitimacy to the Zionist entity that was created based on usurping the land.”
It urged all Arab and Muslim countries to hold annual meetings to activate the boycott of Israel.
The committee also called for intensifying efforts to end the siege of the Gaza Strip and condemned Egypt’s construction of a steel wall on its border with the coastal sliver.
