Israeli officials said to warn: Jordan Valley annexation would imperil peace with Amman
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIsraeli military officials have conveyed to Netanyahu that annexing the Jordan Valley could imperil Israel’s 25-year-old peace treaty with Jordan, Channel 12 says.
Netanyahu has pledged to annex the strategic territory before the September elections. In recent days, he has called for a unity government to be formed so that Israel could take the step, citing a supportive American administration.
Officials warn the prime minister that his public proclamations could spook Jordan’s King Abdullah II, who could be pressed to take steps against Israel, including cutting ties.
