TSOFAR, Israel – Israeli farmers on Monday voiced concern over Jordan's intention not to renew parts of its landmark peace treaty with Israel that leased out two small border areas for agriculture, as Jordanians on the other side of the border welcomed the decision.
Jordan's King Abdullah II announced Sunday that he plans to pull out of annexes from the 1994 peace agreement that allowed Israel to lease Ghamr and the northern enclave of Baqura for 25 years. The leases expire next year.
His decision reflects what have become cool relations between the kingdom and Israel. Last week saw a large protest against renewing the agriculture lease.
Eran Baron, an Israeli farmer in the border village of Tsofar, said that farmers like him have invested lots of resources in Ghamr, along the southern border near Aqaba.
He said he has not yet heard of any formal change in the current arrangement, but if denied access to his crops, he said "we will not be able to survive here."
The two parcels of land are just a few square kilometers (square miles) that have been used by Israelis for decades. But they hold symbolic meaning for Jordan.

Needless to say the Jews will be expelled, no Jews in Jordan. One would think that for a country which is a substantial importer of food, Jordan would find successful farmers useful. No more useful than greenhouses in Gaza.
Jews make the desert flower. Muslims will #*ck it all up. Watch.
Start pulling out any improvements that have been made immediately. Let them have the land back in the state it was originally leased.
Hmm...is this farmland irrigated with water that comes from Israel?
You are MEAN, UNCARING, VINDICTIVE and also 100% correct.
That farm land should be fully restored to an “AS FOUND” condition. Jordanian agriculture will then show how it is done in the Middle East.
Jordan has been quiet until now. What is up?
45 recently comment that the ME is a bad place. Understatement.
“farmers like him have invested lots of resources in Ghamr”
So take whatever you can with you. It’s their loss. Why do idiots think they can make the same mistakes as Zimbabwe did and have a better result. South Africa’s busily digging its own grave. Idi Amin did the same with the Asians. So now Jordan has to get into the act. Good luck. They’ll need it.
