Elder of Ziyon
Jordanian MP Saleh Al-Armouti yesterday warned against amending the real estate property bill to give Israelis the right to buy land in Jordan as investors, Quds Press reported.Speaking to the news site, Al-Armouti said that this law may lead to state land being handed to Zionist firms or figures who hold foreign passports without sufficient checks being made.“This is dangerous,” he said, “and it will give Zionists a chance to own land in the kingdom,” recalling previous Zionist attempts to own land in Wadi Musa and Wadi Araba.If this happens, he explained, their ambitions may expand to points beyond this “as there are Zionist voices who claim rights to Jordanian lands.”
Many Jordanians have a paranoid fear that Israelis will buy up all the land, when they don't have the equally paranoid fear that Israelis will expel all Palestinians to Jordan.
In Arabic, though, the real fear comes through:
Exclusive - Representative Ayoub Khamis criticized granting the cabinet powers to delegate state lands through the real estate property law, indicating that everyone (deputies and citizens) was surprised by the articles mentioned in the law.
Khamis pointed out that the diversion of the lands of Palestine to the Jews began by selling them to others, and when the Jews entered Palestine, a large part of those lands were owned by the Jews through sale, stressing that the lands of Jordan were endowed for the Hashd and Rabat and should not be waived.
Khamis expressed his fear that people and companies would give up lands that the Council of Ministers will grant to investors in favor of Jewish people, indicating that 80% of Jordan's land is (potentially in play.)
