From ANSAmed:
Dozens of activists today demonstrated at the professional association headquarters calling on the government to end the peace treaty with Israel, 15 years after the accord was signed. Protestors were unable to walk the streets of the capital after they were refused permission by authorities under the controversial public gathering law. They held banners that condemn Israel war on Gaza and recent clashes with Palestinian worshipers near al Aqsa mosque. "Israel is the only beneficiary of the peace agreement. It was given the time needed to execute its agenda in the Palestinian territories," said Abdullah Obeidat, president of the professional Association council, an umbrella of 14 labour syndicates including doctors, engineers, lawyers, pharmacists and others. The associations are known as a hot bed for anti-peace activists who are influenced by ideologies of the Muslim Brotherhood movement and leftist parties. Jordan signed peace with Israel in 1994, making it the second Arab country to end the state of war after decades of hostilities. Demonstrators called on authorities to scrap the peace accord and kick out the Israeli ambassador from Amman. "We must take a clear stance regarding the crimes committed in the Palestinian territories, while the government is watching," Hamam Saaid, over all leader of the Muslim Brotherhood told ANSA during the protest.
