AMMAN – On Monday, Khaberni
reported that Jordan recently approached Israel with a request to extend the
agreement regarding increased water supplies for an additional year. The
existing agreement is set to expire in May.
According to Israel’s
official broadcasting authority, KAN, consultations have taken place in Israel
regarding this request, but no positive response has been given yet.
Israel’s Ministry of Energy is currently considering whether to extend the water agreement with
Jordan due to recent statements made by Jordanian officials, particularly
Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, regarding the war in Gaza.
KAN reported that Israel
conveyed a message to Jordan outlining several conditions in exchange for
extending the water supply agreement:
- Mitigating the intensity of statements made by
Jordanian officials, including ministers and parliamentary deputies,
against Israel.
- Reducing incitement within the kingdom against Israel.
- Emphasizing the importance of restoring bilateral
relations to their normal state, including the return of ambassadors to
Amman and Tel Aviv.

Jordan has made efforts
to involve the US and Israel’s former Minister of Energy, Yuval Stienitz, who
held the position three years ago. During the government of Bennett-Lapid,
Israel agreed to double the annual water supply from 50 million cubic meters to
100 million cubic meters, as stipulated in the peace agreement.
