On the evening of March 27, Jordanian police arrested dozens of protesters who attempted to storm the Israeli Embassy in Amman. Eyewitnesses reported that the police used batons to disperse the demonstrators. For three consecutive evenings, thousands of Jordanians have participated in anti-Israeli demonstrations near the Israeli Embassy, demanding that the Jordanian government take practical steps to halt Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people.
The protesters are calling for the cancellation of all agreements with Israel, including the peace treaty (Wadi Arba agreement) and the gas agreement. Additionally, they are requesting a ban on land delivery of goods from Persian Gulf countries through Jordan and a prohibition on exporting vegetables. The protests reflect growing tensions and calls for action against Israeli policies in the region.
On March 26, an anti-Israeli demonstration also occurred in Aqaba, where some participants carried portraits of Yahya Sinouar and Hamas flags. The situation remains volatile as both protesters and authorities navigate the complex political landscape.
