| [Ynet] Jordan's Prime Minister Ensour announces Hashemite kingdom will not deploy troops to West Bank to replace IDF. Jordanian Foreign Minister Judeh says country has right to 'accept or reject' any part of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. The kingdom, a key US ally, is watching warily as Secretary of State John Kerry brokers the secretive talks. Protests have broken out, the media brims with disaster scenarios, and lawmakers have held anguished debate. "Jordan stands today at a dangerous crossroad because it will be a victim of an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal," warned tribal lawmaker Abdul-Karim Dughmi. "I do not trust Mr. Kerry because his country is biased toward the Zionists and their expansionist plans to usurp the remaining Palestinian lands in the West Bank and force more Palestinian refugees onto Jordan." Even at the risk of the Champ regime turning on him, it appears King Ab is wisely steering clear of the Kerry schemes. A prudent move that. |
