AMMAN, 28 March 2008 — Ten Jordanian lawmakers have presented a bill to the lower house of Parliament seeking the cancellation of the 1994 peace treaty with Israel, one of the lawmakers said.
“We submitted the draft law to lower house speaker Abdul Hadi Majali on Wednesday,” MP Hamza Mansur, who heads the six-member parliamentary bloc of the Islamic Action Front (IAF) said.
The draft law was signed by six IAF members and four pro-government deputies.
The IAF has frequently called for the treaty to be abrogated but this is the first time it has put a formal request to the 110-member lower house.
The draft gave several reasons for scrapping the treaty, including that Israel “does not honor the agreement and is still a threat to Jordan.” It said the Jewish state “has committed premeditated crimes in Jordan, and genocide in Palestine.” In 1997, Jordan saved the life of Hamas supremo Khaled Meshaal after Israel’s Mossad foreign intelligence service carried out a botched attempt to poison him in Amman.
“We know that the Jordanian people want to cancel the agreement, but it is not up to them,” said Mansur, a senior member of the IAF.
“According to the law, the legal committee at the lower house is now going to examine the bill before the MPs vote to approve or reject the proposal.” Jordan signed the treaty on Oct. 26, 1994, becoming only the second Arab state after Egypt to make peace with Israel.
A slim chance exists for the draft law to be passed by the Jordanian Parliament where the government enjoys a large majority, diplomats said.

Jordan is an overtly antisemitic state with laws similar to the Reich, still it's probably good they have a King with a cute wife.
Jordan rarely if ever gets involved... hm?
Probably even cuter is King Hussein's widow, Queen Noor.
This is an example of where self hatred pays. Self hating Jew, George Soros, is dating Queen Noor. The accolades and riches one gets if one is a self hating traitor. Hopefully, Soros will be remembered in the book of days.
They are probably betting on their pal Barry Obambi being elected. Have you read the thread on his plans to Israel loose? Scary stuff.
This is really too bad, what with the “Peace Process” delivering such excellent results as of late.
Actually, its a treaty with JERUSALEM, the capital of Israel, you filthy ignorant arabs.
But....but...but....I’m soooooooo confused. All these “treaties” were supposed to bring peace, harmony, puppies, kitties, lollypops, and....well, golly gee, everyone holding hands and singing Kumbaya in three part harmony while chug-a-lugging Coca-Cola! I mean, can’t we all just get along?

Soros is a Obama man. Very Anti- Jew and anti-Israel. He is a cancer.
Soros makes his money through the destruction and/or wounding of governments. I wonder how much money the destruction or serious gelding of America will bring?
