AMMAN, Jan 29 (NNN-XINHUA) – Dozens of Jordanians held a sit-in near the U.S. embassy in Amman, on Tuesday night (last night), in protest against U.S. President, Donald Trump’s Middle East peace plan.
Chanting slogans against the United States, the protesters said, the deal is doomed to fail, as it fails to ensure the Palestinians’ legitimate rights.
“We are here to express our rejection to Trump’s deal … It opens the door for Israel to annex more Palestinian territories,” Salem Hasan, one of the protesters, said
Subhi Qasem, another protestor, expressed similar views.
“Any deal that does not address the final status issues, such as refugees, water and security, and does not ensure sovereignty for the Palestinians, is rejected. Trump’s deal is all in favour of Israel,” Qasem said.
The protesters called on the Arab and Islamic countries to take a firm stance against the U.S. proposal, saying, it will only lead to more tension and chaos in the Middle East.
