BREAKING: Jordan's king announces 'full sovereignty' over lands leased by Israel, ending a 25-year arrangement.

AMMAN, Jordan — Jordan’s king announced Sunday that two pieces of land leased by Israel would be returned to the “full sovereignty” of Jordan as the two countries marked a chilly 25th anniversary of their landmark peace agreement.

“I announce the end of the annex of the two areas, Ghumar and Al-Baqoura, in the peace treaty and impose our full sovereignty on every inch of them,” he said. The accord remains a vital strategic asset for both countries, who maintain tight security cooperation and joint economic projects. But with little progress toward a Palestinian state, the close contact hasn’t trickled down to the average citizen — especially in Jordan, where most people have Palestinian roots. Israeli policies in east Jerusalem, where Jordan has custodial rights over Muslim holy sites, have also raised tensions.

The Democrats did this.

allushiii GeromanAT be happy 🤞

Hmm... Did our delegates that went to Jordan have anything to do with this? Along with helping our Military pin Baghdadis EXACT location Hello AdamSchiff & SpeakerPelosi those holes you’re digging just keep getting deeper.

She trying to incite a war?

Anybody who saw how Israel was created to begin with cannot be surprised by this with President Trump at the helm. It seems his Foreign Policy of PeaceIsThePrize is all working out PERFECTLY!

This is sad news.

That is still an 🇮🇱 flying on the Temple Mount & always will be.

Womp, womp.

The headline seems a little over dramatic. “King Abdullah II had said last year that he wouldn’t renew the parts of the 1994 treaty that gave Israel a 25-year lease of the two small areas, Baqura and Ghamr.”

Pelosi and Schiff were just there.

Has the 'king' got this cleared from Kushner and MBS ?

Saving Israel for last....

ungubunugu1274 I see JaredKushner_ is doing a great job making dirty deals in the middle east

Well we all know who just went to Jordan dont we? Ummmmm.

May God bless His people Israel.

Pelosi just visited Jordan. I would love to read those conversations. Dems are generally anti-Isreal

Talk to the world-known middle east land theft? Good lucks to the king.

I wonder who is backing Jordan.....this is going to be fun to see who the U.S. backs lol

She is one for sticking her nose in it.

Israel knew this was coming. I assume they will give it back without any hesitation

Oh boy ...

YousefMunayyer Shoot if they enter,like idf in Gaza

Cryptogamer11 Now we know why SpeakerPelosi went to Jordan

Deep State ain’t shit. Epstein didn’t kill himself

That didn't go well the last time they tried to take land from Israel

😎 Time to deal with Rothschild's 'IS-RA-EL' , puppets of Rome 😎

It was a stupid agreement, good move.

So now Republicans are calling to invade Jordan ?

©-Israel's a slag. don't shut up so easily. it'll create a problem.

YousefMunayyer There should be NO COOPERATION with Israel by any nation!!!!!!!

©-That's great .. Very good . That's their right.

Will be interesting to hear what Israel says and what Israel tells Trump to say about this

Didn’t Pelosi just go there? 🤔

Ok now hold on it doesnt work both ways like that

'But with relations cool, Abdullah announced late last year that he would end the lease.' So....this has been expected?

That would be a violation of the peace agreement…

Boy, this is a man bites dog story-- Muslim landlord kicks out Jewish tenants. I hope Jordan keeps the security deposit too.

Well that was easy ... is it really that easy?

Lotta happy by FAKE MAGA's right now.

I'm sure this will go well......

You mean the nation that has been stealing land from its residents for decades is loosing land they borrowed from its neighbor? Good

Any connection to the Pelosi and Dem house members visit last month to precipitate this action at this time ? Only conjecture as there are no coincidence in political games.

TreyYingst

I imagine SethAbramson is not surprised by this. Israel has aligned with Jordan, Saudi Arabia and UAE in an attempt to counter Iran's influence in the region. My guess is this return of land was a kick back to Al-SiSi for protecting Israel.

Jordan said'F&K IT' everyone else is doing it.

Run off the Israelis at gunpoint.

Guessing SpeakerPelosi visit there a few weeks ago had nothing to do with this
