AMMAN — Former deputy prime minister and
veteran politician Mamdouh Al-Abadi said that the peace process with Israel
ended with the assassination of former Israeli prime minister
Yitzhak Rabin,
noting that the killing of Rabin was “a killing of peace, and a clear message
by Israel”, stressing the importance that the Jordanian state “stops living
under illusions.”

Abadi told Jo24 that recent statements by Israeli
Prime Minister Naftali Bennett regarding Jordan’s custodianship of the holy
sites in
occupied East Jerusalem were not surprising, as “he does not believe
in peace at all, especially since he is one of the extremists and does not
recognize the Palestinians.”
“I salute the prime minister for his speech at the
Lower House, which expressed the true
feelings of the Jordanian people, and we ask him to continue this approach,”
Abadi added.
He stressed that the Wadi Araba treaty, officially
known as the Jordan-Israel Peace Treaty, no longer exists in light of “the
Zionist violations of Al-Aqsa Mosque and sanctities, and the lack of respect
for the Jordanian side.”
