Jordan jails 2 for plot to attack Israeli troops over US embassy move
2019-03-07
[IsraelTimes] Men given 10 years of hard labor each for plan to fire on soldiers in retaliation for US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
Given that Jordan would be embarrassingly defeated by Israel whould they dqre to try going to war against them again, emforcing the peace on their citizens is the only option.
A Jordanian court on Wednesday sentenced two men to 10 years in prison with hard labor for planning an attack against Israeli forces on the kingdom’s border with the West Bank. The state security court in Amman ruled that the men, Jordanians both in their 20s, had planned to target Israeli soldiers with a Kalashnikov assault rifle and a pistol.

They had hatched the plan last year after US President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
 announced his controversial decision to recognize Jerusalem as capital of Israel, sparking outrage among Paleostinians, a court document said.

One of those convicted planned "to carry out an armed terrorist operation... after (Trump’s) decision to move the American embassy to Jerusalem and over the abuses against Paleostinians by the Israeli army," it said.

The two men from the city of Madaba, 30 kilometers (20 miles) south of Amman, admitted they had also planned to open fire on Jordanian forces if they were intercepted, the charge sheet said. They were intercepted by Jordanian border guards in May last year, before they could cross the border and reach Israeli forces.
But didn’t open fire as planned? Such brave, brave Lions of Islam!
Jordan is the only Arab country apart from Egypt to have a peace deal with Israel. But the treaty is overwhelmingly opposed by Jordanians, more than half of whom are of Paleostinian origin.
...the other half being prince-of-the-desert Bedouins who despise the Palestinian peasants and deeply resent having to share the country with them.
