Jordanians protest buying natural gas from Israel as Egypt prepares its own purchase

Jordanian haters of Israel are trying to increase pressure on the government to cancel a deal where the energy-poor kingdom buys natural gas from Israel.

They started a hashtag campaign his weekend to "Bring down the gas agreement" complete with graphics like these:

Jordanians are also planning a series of demonstrations against the deal in the coming days.

The companies controlling the Leviathan and Tamar gas fields in Israeli waters  plan to sell natural gas to both Egypt and Jordan starting next month. I have not yet seen similar protests from Egypt.

The gas deal with Jordan is worth $10 billion, with Egypt is it worth $15 billion.

Arab media are falsely reporting that the gas deals are with Israel itself, and that Israel admitted that some of the revenue will go towards its military. (Although, of course, some of the tax revenue undoubtedly would, as some portion of taxes from any country would go towards defense budgets.)
