MP Khamis Attia revealed information he has about the Ministry of Water starting negotiations with the Israeli government; in order to exchange water between the two sides.The information revealed by MP Attia indicates that the negotiations have reached the conclusion that "the Israelis will obtain the Disi water, through the Ministry of Water pumping water to the Israelis from the Disi basin, in exchange for the Zionists pumping water from Lake Tiberias to northern Jordan."He expressed his surprise at the negotiations, adding on his Facebook page: "I do not know what the genius of the Ministry of Water is, to resort to the Israelis in a water exchange process to solve the water problem in the north!"He called on the government to "backtrack on these plans that waste our water for the benefit of the Jews, and the Disi water is the water of the Jordanians, and it cost the Jordanian people billions to reach the citizens."Representative Attia rejected "these plans that waste our water rights," stressing the need for the House of Representatives to take a strong position to reject the step of exchanging water with the Jews.
I'm not quite sure why the minister is surprised. Israel and Jordan have been negotiating a version of this agreement - exchanging desalinated water from Jordan in the south for Israel supplying water in the North (in the planned excahnge, the UAE would provide solar energy to power the Jordanian desalination plant.)
The weird part is that he says "Disi water." The Disi aquifier is mostly under Saudi Arabia but some is under Jordan, it seems strange that Jordan would pump from there to Israel, especially since it is a limited resource that does not get replenished from rain. But maybe that is the current negotiations, and that might be what upsets him so much, calling it Jordanian water.
Note that he says "Jews" in addition to Israelis and Zionists.
