Another Point Of Instability: Jordan Cancels Annexes Leasing Two Territories To Israel

King Abdullah During a meeting with political figures at Al Husseiniya Palace, By Petra

On October 21, Jordan’s king Abdullah bin al-Hussein announced that his country had decided to terminate the Peace Treaty annexes on Baqura and al-Ghamr, which allowed Israel to use these town areas.

“Baqura and al-Ghamr are Jordanian territories. They will remain as such, and we exercise full sovereignty over our territories …Our priorities amidst current difficult regional conditions are to protect our interests and exert all possible efforts in the interest of Jordan and Jordanians,” the Jordanian King said during a meeting with political figures at Al Husseiniya Palace, according to the Jordanian News Agency (Petra).

Two annexes of the 1994 peace treaty between Israel and Jordan allowed Israel to lease 405 hectares of Baqura and al-Ghamr and a small area known as the “Island of Peace” near the Sea of Galilee. However, the lease was limited to 25 years only.

In his first comment on the issue, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his country will negotiate with Jordan to extend the lease of Baqura and al-Ghamr under the 1994 treaty. Netanyahu’s statement indicates that Israel is not willing to give up on the areas easily.

“[Israel] will enter negotiations with it [Jordan] on the possibility of extending the current arrangement,” the Reuters news agency quoted Netanyahu as saying.

The U.S., which is among the main backers of the Israeli-Jordanian peace treaty, has not commented on the Jordanian King decision so far.  Amman is one of the key allies of Washington in the Middle East. However, this will not stop the Trump administration from developing its hardcore pro-Israeli policy and supporting Netanyahu blindly on the issue.

Considering complicated social and economic situation in Jordan, this will likely lead to creation of another point of tensions in the region. The Jordanian population has already held a series of rallies demanding the return of the nation’s land leased to Israel.

Strong decision

Marni Houston

great news….now if DC can get the balls to……

Don Machiavelli

Jordan is in bed with Israel for long time now. This move by king is only to make Israel into giving more $$$ to Jordan for extension of the deal. I hope that i am wrong and that Jordan has learned lesson of what are the costs of cooperating with Israel, cooperating with hypocrites and thieves means that you are the same as them.

SFC Steven M Barry USA RET

There is only one way to get Jews off the land they steal…

Attrition47

They aren’t Jews, hey are zionist impostors.

SFC Steven M Barry USA RET

That is a distinction without a difference.

Attrition47

No, it’s a description of secular cynicism hiding behind a religion.

Zionism = EVIL

Worse than that, the Khazar are as savage as the Saudis and hacksawing Arabs and African children’s organs for old disgusting Jews in European and North American hospitals.

Attrition47

I think you miss the point, anyone involved in these crimes who was a Jew forfeits that style and dignity.

Promitheas Apollonious

You mean are not of the semitic race and you are right.

RichardD

It’s the site of a hydro electric complex developed in the 30s by Zionists that at one time powered most of Palestine. It wouldn’t surprise me if they try to come up with some type of legal contortions to try to keep it in violation of the treaty. Or they may try to abrogate that portion of the treaty based on national security, historical claim or some such nonsense.

mullengirls4

Thank you for providing the important information regarding this issue. Interesting how much history this area has experienced.

Bill Wilson

Was a hydro electric complex. Perhaps Jordan has plans to build another one and needs Israel out of the way to do that?

RichardD

That would make sense.

leon mc pilibin

Kick the zionist Parasites out,,ASAP

leon mc pilibin

BTW,israhell says that they only want Peace,,a Piece of lebanon,Syria,jordan,and all of Palestine..Time to put these scumbag thieves and warmongering killers in their proper place,eastern Europe from where they originated.

RichardD

Judging from the level of dejudification in that area, I’d say that they don’t want them back and are glad to be rid of them.

Zionism = EVIL

The Zionist are as savage as the Saudis scum. A Swedish diplomat was the first to spill the beans when the Zionists set up a “field hospital” in Haiti to organ harvest the poor victims of the earth quake. The Zionist parasites have been organ harvesting Arab children since 1948 and sending the organs to Jew hospitals in Europe and America.

A Belgian official’s remarks that Israel steals the organs of Palestinian children, whom it kills, have made headlines again after the news website which published them decided to stick to the story.

Robrecht Vanderbeeken, the cultural secretary of Belgium’s ACOD trade union and a philosophy of science scholar, had made the comments back in August in a column published by Belgian website De Wereld Morgen.

The population of the Gaza Strip is being “starved to death, poisoned, and children are kidnapped and murdered for their organs,” he wrote then.

The website recently received a complaint by Belgian watchdog, the Interfederal Center for Equal Opportunities, over the story.

De Wereld Morgen, however, stuck to the assertion that Israel “kidnapped” and “murdered” Palestinian children and used organs belonging to the Palestinians its forces killed.

In November 2015, the Palestinian ambassador to the United Nations said Israel harvested the organs of the Palestinians it killed.

In a letter to the UN secretary general, Riyad Mansour said the bodies of Palestinians killed by Israeli security forces “were returned with missing corneas and other organs, further confirming past reports about organ harvesting by the occupying power.”

As Jesus said, they are of their father, the Devil. The most pressing problem facing humanity is Talmudic Rabbinical Judaism.

And a piece of Khashoggi. Mossad agents doing the night shift probably hungry for some finger food.

Rob

This is fake news. The Jordan should declare themselves that is it true or not. Is there any strong good relations of King Abdullah with Israel. If this is proved positive then King Abdullah is not good but a traitor.

Rob

Yesterday post was not correct. Now they have mentioned clearly that Jordan wants his land back. After delivery of S-300 to Syria and then the Saudi regime killing of Khashoggi this is another stroke to brutal Israeli state of foreigners. I have declared in 2017 that now the state of Israel and ISIS would not be saved even if they change the names from Israel to ISIS to SDF etc.

Jens Holm

Be fake news Yourself again. Dont you have internet and make some fact checking Yourself. I hardly ever see that.

Even if I and others wrote about, You probatly would not read it and certainly dont learn.

Rob

Yes the news was fake. The Jordanian King Abdullah want his land back from English foreign terrorists called Israel.

Feudalism Victory

Umm does israel have troops and citizens in there?

Tommy Jensen

These two land pieces belongs historically to Israel and now when Israel has had them in 25 years, Jordan cannot just cancell them because he wants the Jeiwsh gold that Israeli´s earned in these years by honest usury in these areas. Israel will defend its historical rights to these areas with all its bombers and airfighters if necessary..

Ilya Grushevskiy

Counter example: Hong Kong.

Jens Holm

Thats right. And the difference to macau as well. Hong Kong partly is a kind of autonome by negosiations. Macau is not.

Promitheas Apollonious

learn history then come and say this again. Historically as you claim belong nothing to israel. Time to historically become what they always have been slaves and dust.

S Melanson

Honest usury? Is that not an oxymoron?

The peace treaty stipulates 25 years and then the leases expired. I point out that there are Israeli signatures on that treaty that binds Israel to honour the treaty terms. But Israel abrogating on their treaty commitments is consistent with Israel’s historical record of respect towards treaties – that is, respect only the treaty provisions that are beneficial for Israel and when they stop being beneficial simply discard them or, reinterpret so it is once again useful, sort of what you are doing here.

Jens Holm

We do not know all facts. Its a normal procedure to renegosiate and try to get a higher price for the next 25 years or something.

S Melanson

I see your point. However, if by renegotiation it is agree or be bombed into oblivion, that is not negotiation.

Jens Holm

I read him. I think hde once was a danish jew and fanatism has grown in him. I party agree some on his, but in vital partds, we sometimes are 180 degrees.

Jens Holm

Yes they can. In agreements like that, there are papers about the rest. It can be from fully taking over into some compensation and cleaning.

Around the world You see many versions of that. We also see powerplants driven by water partly out of own territory making agrable land into lake. Here it often compensated by a lot of electricity.

You could see a kind og that in Syria if SDfs got local selfrule. They today control 4 dams, but the ownership doesnt matter, if Damaskus get the usual electricity to same price as the SDF zone.

And thar goes both ways. Fx at DEZ and one more the Damaskus posses 1 or 2 relative big powerplants driven by fuel. Here the SDFs has none and some heavy population west of it(and the ISIS enclave).

It make no sense to make a new and long distance grid net all the way from Raqqa(west), because the losses in distance is relative big. You can improve that, but thats very expensive.

I see none historical rights for israel there apart from the renting.

Karim Al Ahamadi

What Israel are you talking about ? The Zionist cancer will be removed

Christian Gains

The King is as wise as his Dad; and WILL DO WHAT’S BEST FOR JORDAN….NOT ISRAEL. These towns and areas belong to Jordan, SOOOooooo I’m thinking the King is going to side with HIS PEOPLE, NOT with Israeli negotiators!

Sinbad2

This King, like his dad is more British than Arab.

Sage Durham

What about West Bank? Isn’t that Jordan territory?

Jens Holm

No. Its a warline. Jordan was named as Transjordan by Britts. Trans…

But next You also can say, it should not be Israel. By that You can define Palestine with Gaza, which today hardly is a fact for real.

Nasser Khan

They gave it up.

They are literally more backwards than a legal system stuck in the seventh century!

Lena Jones

Even mousey Arab leaders like the Jordon king are demanding israel give their land back. It looks like non of the israeli grand Yinnon plans are working out at all. Terrorist khazar jews have failed to weaken hezbollah; failed to divide up Syria; failed to secure the ‘deal of the century’ with the disgraced, terrorist Saudis. And the biggest failure of all: still can’t get their war on Iran heh heh!

Jens Holm

Carrot stuff again.

Lena Jones

“Carrot” is infinitely better than jewish bullshit.

Jens Holm

If You say so.

Melville Pouwels

good luck jordan, your gunna need it. when america looses her hegemony & the petro dollar is no more, israel will have no armed forces

Sinbad2

It was a 25 year lease, the lease is up, the landlord wants his property back. Does anybody know how much rent Israel was paying?

Lena Jones

Apartheid jews pay nothing: the dumb American tax payer paying for EVERYTHING israel.

Jens Holm

The usual stuff as well. Only eveil non sense and no facts. Find the project.

Lena Jones

Show me the fucking receipts motherfucker!

Jens Holm

You say, there is none for 25 years ? 1994 is 25 years in this link

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_politics_in_the_Jordan_River_basin

Lena Jones

You can stuff your wiki propaganda link! Go bring me a link on water distribution in the Levant from W.H.O. (World Health Organization) and then we can talk! But you won’t be bringing me nothing from W.H.O. cuz their stats on Levant water is the OPPOSITE of the jewy wiki one you provide! About the only ‘true’ statement that your wiki link makes is that indeed there is a “water crisis” in the Levant – but NOT because there is a shortage of water, but because israel, a population of 8 million, commandeers/steals 78% of the Golan’s water, meant to be Syrian water: Syria’s population: 18 million. Israel also steals 82% of West Bank aquifers – not forgetting that filthy jews have also literally polluted the Jordon river to death – adding to that the ongoing poisoning of Gaza’s water.

So fuck off with your hasbara link! Show me a single receipt that the terrorist welfare state of israel has EVER paid for or stfu already!

Jens Holm

The usual stuff. Ypu have no idea about, what Jordan has got durinbg those many years too.

Sinbad2

So tell us what Jordan got?

Rodney Loder

Trump and the problum of israel is not helped by the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan being a US minion.

Luckily however Jordan will be abandoned financially by Trump if he wins the Midterms.

Tillerson guarantee to give Jordan $1•3 billion annually, thats up by $300,000,000 over previous years, but that is about to change if Trump wins the Congress, so Jordan is saying Trump is a lame duck, I agree, Trump doesn’t have a clue about what’s happening, he’s supporting the extreme right wing Christians who are now supporting the Democrats.

The Democrats don’t want Trump any more he tried to pull out a miracle from his hat and failed so now the Dems want Trump out, one reason is that israel is losing face in the States due to Trump and Netanyahu’s perceived callous apartheid policies and outright boasting about the murder of Palestinians, Nikki Haley was too blood thirsty for America Trump tried to cough it up and sit it out but he’s being totally mind controlled by the Masonic Christian swine, I actually had one of the pox ring me up appealing for friendship, it was like shit in my mouth and I was successful in spitting it out, Trump wasn’t, Abdullah knows that Trump is wasted after November and he won’t have the power to cut anyone’s income.

Sinbad2

Not everything is about America.

Rodney Loder

Evangelism is a World wide movement, so is orthodox Christianity both are led from Washington it’s there they colluded in the 1990’s to produce Kagame that situation was developing exactly mirror image with Arab Spring but the bust up is also repeating itself with a fight between the two for supremacy, that’s why Khashoggi got his.

And like the Rwandan situation and it’s aftermath the Orthodox mainly RC’s have got the the biggest backers, if Trump can hang on it will throw a spanner into their spokes, I guarantee it.

Nasser Khan

Bibi gets what Bibi wants.

Rilme Hakonen

It is time for Jordan to grasp the hand of friendship extended by China and Russia. Jordan will be the glorious link between Asia and Africa. The USUKisrael conspiracy is withering on the vine, banished to the edges of the world.
