“AMMAN – Several thousand protesters took to the streets of Jordanian cities on Friday, calling on the government to scrap its peace deal with Israel following escalating violence at the Al-Aksa mosque in Jerusalem.

“Death to Israel,” crowds chanted in several cities, with activists demanding that Israel’s embassy in Amman be closed.

“Why are you keeping the embassy of the Jews? It should be demolished with everyone in it,” Sheikh Hamam, head of the opposition Muslim Brotherhood party, said in central Amman.

Jordan recalled its ambassador from Israel on Wednesday – the first time it has taken such action since the two countries established diplomatic relations in 1994, denouncing what they called “violations” at the Al-Aksa mosque.”

“Al-Aksa needs liberation and all of the people of Jordan are ready to wage jihad (holy war) to liberate our sacred sites,” demonstrators chanted in Amman.” http://www.jpost.com/Arab-Israeli-Conflict/Jordanians-denounce-peace-with-Israel-vow-jihad-to-liberate-Al-Aksa-381122
