Jordanian opposition calls for Israel to rescind West Bank expulsion decision

The Jordanian opposition parties’ Higher Coordination Committee has called on Arab governments to put pressure on Israel to rescind its decision to expel thousands of Palestinians from the occupied West Bank, noting that this decision was merely an “aggressive settlement draft.”

The opposition party affirmed that “practical steps should be taken to back the Palestinian people and to stand firm in the face of Zionist greed. At the forefront of these steps should come the closure of borders against Israel’s policy of transfer; the annulment of the Wadi Araba Treaty; the expulsion of Israel’s ambassadors from Arab capitals and closure of its embassies while activating a total boycott and halting all forms of normalization with Israel.”

The Committee also demanded that the Palestinian resistance factions accelerate their efforts toward national unity. It called on Arab states to withdraw the Arab peace initiative, and promote a popular solidarity movement against the Israeli Occupation.
