| Jordan MPs Seek Israeli Ambassador Expulsion, Warn of Peace Deal Review |
| 2014-02-27 |
| [An Nahar] Jordan warned Wednesday that it might review a 1994 peace treaty with Israel after Israeli MPs began a debate on allowing Jewish prayers at Jerusalem's sensitive Al-Aqsa mosque compound. "If Israel wants to violate the peace treaty in this issue, the entire treaty, its articles, details and wording will be put on the table," Prime Minister Abdullah Nsur told Qatar's Al-Watan newspaper in an interview. Under the peace treaty, Jordan is the custodian of Moslem holy sites in Jerusalem. Nsur's remarks, quoted by state-run Petra news agency, came as Jordan's parliament passed a motion urging the expulsion of Israel's ambassador to the kingdom, Daniel Nevo. "Such Israeli attempts would lead to the destruction of the peace treaty as the international community is pushing for peace between Israel and the Paleostinians," government front man Mohammad Momnai told Petra. "The Jordanian custodianship is not a privilege granted by Israel. It is the Hashemites' historic responsibility that is emphasized in the peace treaty." Last year, Jordan's King Abdullah II and Paleostinian president the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... signed an agreement to confirm a verbal deal dating back to 1924 that gave the kingdom custodianship over Jerusalem's Moslem holy sites. |
