Jordan refuses to sign water, energy deal with Israel

AMMAN: Jordan will no longer be signing a water and energy deal with Israel due to the ongoing conflict in Gaza, according to Jordanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi.

The minister told Al Jazeera TV on Thursday: “The agreement should have been signed last month, but we will not sign it.”

Safadi said Israel was “driving the entire region into hell,” and highlighted tensions on Lebanon’s borders and in the West Bank.

He noted that Israeli actions in the Israel-Hamas war had created a hostile environment that prevented normal and peaceful relations, adding that while the violence continued the Jordan-Israel peace treaty would be irrelevant, “gathering dust on the shelf.”
