"Unrest in Jordan: Protests Escalate Against Peace Treaty with Israel"
TL;DR
Thousands of Jordanians rallied near the Israeli embassy for a fifth day, demanding an end to Jordan's 1994 peace treaty with Israel and showing solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. The protests, marked by chants and placards, have been met with heavy security measures, arrests, and international criticism for restricting freedom of expression. Many Jordanians, particularly those of Palestinian origin, oppose the peace treaty and view it as a betrayal of Palestinian rights.
