Last farmers leave Jordan enclave for final time
A farmer who had been tending his lands in the Tzofar enclave inside Jordan says the last growers have left the area, likely for the last time.
Jordan in November ended two leases for Israeli farmers to work lands several kilometers over the border, but extended access for farmers in the Tzofar enclave south of the Dead Sea until April 30.
Erez Gibori tells AFP that the last farmers, who had grown peppers in the enclave, have now left it.
Gibori says that Jordan’s decision to take back the lands went “against the spirit of the peace agreement.”
