Thirty Jordanian lawmakers have demanded the expulsion of the "Israeli" ambassador over the Zionist state's deadly air strikes on the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, an MP said on Sunday.
"Thirty deputies signed a memorandum on Saturday condemning the "Israeli" aggression on Gaza and demanding that the government expel the "Israeli" ambassador to Jordan," Bassam Haddain, who led the initiative, told AFP.
"The political atmosphere in Jordan is against "Israel's" arrogant polices and it is growing. We expect more MPs to sign the memo," he said.
In the memo, the MPs in the 110-member lower house also demand that the government summon the ambassador to "Israel" and "end all forms of normalization in response to the ‘Israeli' massacres in Gaza," Haddain said.
In an unprecedented move at the lower house, prominent MP Khalil Atiyeh, one of the signatories, stepped on an "Israeli" flag before burning it at a meeting as other deputies gathered around him.
