water, asserting that the Kingdom has sufficient resources for years to come.

Nasser stated on Friday that extracting deep groundwater in
Jordan is more cost-effective and secure than relying on water from the Israeli
Occupation, emphasizing its positive impact on the
national economy. Previous
studies and projects by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation indicate that
Jordan possesses ample water resources for an extended period, eliminating the
need for water from the occupiers, as Saraya News reported.
Nasser – “Jordan has not thoroughly examined the strategic,
national, and financial dimensions of this agreement.”
Regarding Jordan's decision not to sign an energy and water
exchange agreement with the occupying entity, Nasser attributes this decision
to the Israeli occupation's lack of respect for international law.
National waters, national priorities: Jordan's bold standHe added that the siege on Gaza undermines the agreement's
fundamental goals, such as regional cooperation, trust-building, and peace
enhancement. Nasser insists that the occupiers' actions threaten national
security,
especially concerning the water issue, and applauds the decision to
suspend the agreement, considering it a commendable step that aligns with
Jordan's national interests and the welfare of both the Jordanian and
Palestinian people.
