Four Nights of Anti-Israel Protests in Amman: A Fight for Palestine and Against Unjust Policies

For four nights in a row, protests against Israel were held in the Jordanian capital, close to the Israeli Embassy. Each evening, protesters attempted to approach the embassy but were met with resistance from the police and gendarmerie, leading to several arrests. The number of participants in the demonstrations has decreased compared to earlier days, with most of them being teenagers and students.

The demonstrators are calling on the Jordanian government to take concrete actions against what they perceive as Israeli aggression towards the Palestinian people. They want all agreements with Israel to be annulled, including the peace treaty (Wadi Arba agreement) and gas agreement. Additionally, they are demanding a halt on goods transport from Persian Gulf countries through Jordan and a ban on vegetable exports.

The protests serve as a testament to continued frustration and anger towards Israel among young people who see it as an unjust entity. Their demands reflect their desire for the Jordanian government to take a stronger stance in support of the Palestinian cause and against Israeli policies.
