Amman describes the Israeli map as "provocative and baseless" and “falsely claims historical territorial rights for Israel."

Palestine and Jordan on Tuesday strongly denounced an Israeli map that inaccurately includes Palestinian, Jordanian, Syrian, and Lebanese territories as part of "Israel".

An official account on social media affiliated with the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, named "Israel Speaks Arabic," shared an image of a map it claimed dated back to over 900 BCE. 

The account alleged that the map depicted the borders of the "Kingdoms of Israel and Judah," claiming that what it referred to as the "Kingdom of Israel" existed "3,000 years ago."

هل تعلم ان مملكة إسرائيل كانت قائمة منذ 3000 سنة؟

أول ملك حكمها لمدة 40 عاما كان الملك شاؤول (1050--1010) ق. م. ثم تلاه الملك داود الذي حكمها 40 عاما تقريبا (1010-970 ) ق.م. وعقبه الملك سليمان الذي حكم ايضا لمدة 40 عاما في الفترة (970-931) ق.م.

Palestinian Authority spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeineh condemned the map as "a blatant violation of all international legitimacy resolutions and international law."

He emphasized that Israeli provocations, coupled with attacks by illegal settlers, necessitate "an urgent international stance to stop what the Palestinian people are being subjected to from war and destruction."

Abu Rudeineh also urged the incoming US administration "to work to stop all Israeli policies, actions, and procedures that do not serve security and peace in the region."

On its part, the Jordanian Foreign Ministry described the Israeli map as "provocative and baseless" and “falsely claims historical territorial rights for Israel."

The ministry noted that the map's publication coincides with "racist statements" made by Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich regarding the "annexation" of the occupied West Bank and settlement construction in the Gaza Strip.

In March 2023, Smotrich spoke at an event in Paris, standing beside a map of "Greater Israel" that depicted Jordan as part of the occupation entity.

These Israeli actions, Amman asserted, “would neither diminish Jordan's sovereignty nor alter the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people."

The ministry also called on the Israeli occupation government "to immediately cease these provocative actions and stop the reckless statements made by Israeli officials, which are only fueling tensions and contributing to the instability of the region."
