Anti-US, Anti-“Israel” Demos Held in Jordan

Thousands of Jordanians hold demonstrations in the capital, Amman, demanding the closure of the US and "Israeli" embassies in the country and the expulsion of the respective ambassadors.

"America is the head of the serpent," 'No American Embassy in Jordan,' and 'No "Israeli" Embassy in Jordan,' chanted the protesting public, reported sources.

The demonstrators tried to reach the "Israeli" and American embassies, but faced heavy security presence.

Jordanian police deployed armored vehicles in the area for the fear that the public tries to take over the embassy.

"End the agreement!" the protesters also shouted, calling for the termination of Amman's 1994 peace treaty with Tel Aviv, which normalized relations and allegedly resolved territorial disputes between the two sides.

The rallies also condemned the United States plans to veto any Palestinian statehood bid at the UN Security Council and voiced outrage at Israel's policies toward the Palestinians in the Tel Aviv-occupied territories.
