Jordanians to Launch Campaign against Export of Agricultural Products to Israel
The National Society for Support of Resistance and Defense of Homeland also called for a protest to be held in front of the country’s agriculture ministry against exports to Israel, Arabi21 website reported.
While the Gaza Strip is under siege and is suffering from hunger, fruits and vegetables are being exported to Israel from Jordan, it deplored in a statement.
Some reports by Israeli media outlets have suggested that agricultural products are being sent from the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia to Israeli via Jordan.
The Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth, for example, reported recently that 500 tons of tomatoes have been imported to occupied Palestine via Jordan in a week to make up for the shortage of the vegetable caused by a ban imposed by Turkey.
The Amman government has dismissed such reports as totally inaccurate and are aimed at undermining Jordan’s decisive stance regarding the Israeli regime’s brutal aggressions on the Gaza Strip.
