The Jordanian crossings officials informed the Palestinian General Administration of Borders and Crossings that as of Tuesday of this week, Palestinians cannot bring any olive oil through the Allenby Bridge crossing to Jordan, even small quantities.
Jordan already bans Palestinian olive oil imports.
Jordan and the Palestinian Authority regularly come out with statements about how Jordan supports the Palestinian cause, but when you look a little beyond the sound bites, Jordan acts like every other country - it puts its own interests first. But you will not find "pro-Palestinian" activists attack Jordan for acting in its own self-interests.
