Jordanians hold pro-Gaza rally in Amman

Sat Aug 9, 2014

Over 15,000 supporters of Muslim Brotherhood have staged an anti-Israeli demonstration in the Jordanian capital of Amman, urging the resistance movement to ratchet up its campaign against Israel.

Scores of masked youths dressed in the uniform of Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, also took part in the Friday rally, the largest demonstration in Amman in years, and staged a symbolic military parade in support of Hamas.

A Muslim Brotherhood spokesperson on Friday called on Hamas to escalate its attacks against Israel in an attempt to avenge the deaths of civilians in Gaza.

"In the coming phase, after negotiations failed, the only thing left is the flag of resistance which was behind the victory in Gaza," said Zaki Bani Rusheid, deputy head of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan.

The Israeli military aggression against Gaza, which began on July 8, has claimed the lives of more than 1,900 Palestinians, including more than 400 children, and wounded over 9,500 others. Palestinian resistance movements have retaliated  by launching rockets into Israel.

A 72-hour truce in Gaza ended on Friday morning without any agreement to extend it.

Jordan is home to the largest number of Palestinian refugees and most of its more than 7 million population are of Palestinian origin.

This week, the Arab country, which along with Egypt has a peace treaty with Israel, refused calls by public protesters, the opposition and some prominent politicians to expel Tel Aviv’s ambassador and cut ties with the entity, describing it as a counter-productive move.
