Hundreds Protest In Jordan Against Water Energy Deal In Israel by Onyiiobi7735(op): 4:52pm On Nov 27, 2021
Hundreds of people have gathered in the Jordanian capital Amman,to protest against a water-for-energy agreement between Jordan and Israel.
The agreement if implemented would be one of the largest cooperation projects since the countries signed a peace deal 27 years ago.
Under the deal,Jordan would receive 200 million cubic meters(7.06 billion cubic feet) of desalinated water from Israel, in return for 600 megawatts of electricity generated from a UAE funded solar energy plant in Jordan.
Jordanians at the protest on Friday rejected the agreement, saying it moved towards normalising ties with Israel while it continued to occupy the Palestinian territories.
Opponents also warned that the deal would force Jordan to be dependent on its neighbour.
"We have the right to live: Palestinians have the right to live" Nasreen,a protester told Aljazeera."We,Jordanians,support Palestine, and we care about Jordan,that is why we are here today.
Nasreen held a poster made by her three children "it's about being HUMAN" the poster read.
The project's declaration of intent was signed on Monday in Dubai by Jordan's water minister, Israel's energy minister,and the UAE's climate change minister,in the presence of US Climate Envoy,John Kerry.
"We don't trust the occupation" Jordanian Parliament Member Saleh al-Armouti told Al Jazeera referring to Israel.
If the Israeli occupation signs an agreement, usually they don't do what is stated".
The agreement intends to address Jordan's dire need for water and Israel's goal to expand its renewable energy mix.
