Several Jordanian campaigns are calling for boycotting decision-makers and urging all citizens to participate in a march condemning the recent declaration of intent for the energy-water project with "Israel".

    Any normalization actions sought by "Israel" will be fought, stressed normalization refusers.

The National Campaign to Overturn the Gas Deal with "Israel" confirmed that decision-makers in Jordan shifted from political normalization to the imposed normalization on Jordanians, after signing the electricity and water exchange declaration of intent with the Israeli occupation.

The Campaign considered that by signing the declaration of intent, Jordan has become a direct partner in international law violations and war crimes committed by the Israeli occupation, stressing that the declaration places Jordan's water security at the mercy of the occupation.

It also called on all parties and unions to boycott the decision-makers and to participate in the march organized next Friday to condemn the declaration.

Israeli Energy Minister Karine Elharrar said the Israeli-Jordanian "agreement" was the "most significant" since the two signed a "peace" treaty in 1994.

In a statement, the Jordanian Ministry of Water and Irrigation said the declaration of intent is "not an agreement, neither from a technical nor a legal point of view, and the project will not be implemented without obtaining this amount of water annually."

Jordanian Minister of Water and Irrigation Mohammad Najjar revealed that the idea of ​​the joint project with "Israel", for which a declaration of intent was signed, came at the request of a UAE company, adding that the negotiations took about 24 hours.  

The company would generate renewable energy in southern Jordan, because the region has enough brightness from sun rays to generate clean electric energy, and then sell it to the Israeli side. In return, Jordan gets desalinated water, Najjar explained.

Emirati attempts to attract students to normalize

Jordanians revolting and rejecting normalization repetitively stressed that any normalization actions sought by "Israel" that aim to impose its influence and achieve its interests in Jordan will be fought.

The first spark of Jordanian rejection to normalize ties with "Israel" started after discovering Emirati academic attempts to recruit Jordanian students and drag them into normalization.

A UAE delegation made a presentation at the University of Jordan about scholarships and graduate studies at the Emirati Mohamed bin Zayed University in partnership with an Israeli university, in a symposium held a few days ago at the University of Jordan.

The incident prompted students and faculty members to immediately withdraw from the symposium and organize a protest.

In addition, Jordanian academic movements prevented the Emirati delegation from going to other universities and demanded the opening of an urgent investigation into the delegation's visit.

The Dean of Student Affairs at the University of Jordan rejected all forms of normalization attempts in the university and said he was proud of the students who withdrew from the symposium.

Hundreds of students demonstrated Tuesday at the University of Jordan, in refusal of the declaration of intent and demanded its cancellation, as well as canceling Jordan's peace agreement with the Israeli occupation, known as the Wadi Araba Treaty.
