Israeli farmers are no longer to be allowed enter an agricultural enclave in Jordan from this week, as an extension of Israel’s lease on the border land expires. The announcement reflects the poor relations between the countries, which have been underscored by Jordan's vocal opposition to Israeli plans to annex parts of the occupied West Bank, a plan supported by American President Donald Trump. Under their landmark 1994 peace deal, Jordan granted Israel a 25-year lease on two small areas along their border, Baqura and Ghamr (renamed Tsofar by the Israelis). Jordan has long supported a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which would include the establishment of a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem.

Since the plan to annex swathes of the West Bank, including the illegal settlements and East Jerusalem, demolishes any realistic aspiration of a sovereign Palestinian state, what is surprising is that there are any Arab countries willing to have normal diplomatic relations with Israel at all.

Poor monarchy being mistreated by a democracy. Surely the democracy is to blame for all the Cleric-Overlords and Kings not liking them.

Don't forget that the planet is flat because Israel had it flattened.

Why not? By and large Arab countries don't give a damn about the Palestinians. It was Jordan itself that ran a huge number of them out of the country by force of arms after the Black September Uprising.

Yeah. You dont have to leave. We will just persecute you until you do.

Are you saying Israel should do that to the Palestinians or would you have a problem with that?
