The Chinese Global Times reports:
Jordan's forum of professional associations and opposition on Saturday condemned Israeli calls for considering Jordan as the alternative homeland for the Palestinians and stressed the returning right of the Palestinian refugees.
In a statement issued Saturday, the forum, which includes the country's 14 trade unions and opposition parties, said "the Zionist entity (Israel) poses a real threat to the Palestinians, Jordan and the Arab nations."
"The sole option to face the Zionist entity is to resort to resistance," the statement indicated.
It also called for reconsidering mechanisms of peace negotiations with Israel as these mechanisms followed by the Arab regimes have not yielded any results so far.
- The forum, which condemned Israel's latest military order that entails the expulsion of thousands of Palestinians from the West Bank, called for severing the Wadi Araba Peace Treaty signed in 1994 between Jordan and Israel.
- Since the signing of the Wadi Araba Peace Treaty, Jordan's 14 professional associations and opposition parties spearheaded efforts calling for annulling the peace deal with Israel.
- The forum also called for cutting all types of normalization with Israel.
