TEL AVIV – Former Israeli Prime Minister
Naftali Bennett
criticized Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi's announcement about the
cancellation of the Kingdom's signature on the energy-for-water exchange
agreement with the occupation. Bennett remarked, "If Jordan's leaders want
their people to thirst, that is their right." He conveyed through X,
formerly known as Twitter, that the occupation "has enough energy sources
to generate electricity," claiming, "Jordan does not have enough water
for its people."

Bennett asserted that the occupation, acting as good
neighbors, took the initiative to desalinate seawater and channel fresh water
to the Jordan River, enabling Jordan to pump more water and irrigate its
population. "We did this to help our water-thirsty neighbors," he
added, Jo24 reported.
On Thursday evening, Safadi declared that he would not sign
the "electricity-for-water" agreement with the occupation state. He
emphasized that no Jordanian minister could sit next to the Israeli minister to
sign such an agreement while the occupation continued to kill the people of
Gaza.
Safadi underscored that the occupation is pushing the entire
region into chaos, stating that this war cannot continue.
