"Jordanian Police Accused of Treason for Dispersing Pro-Palestinian Protesters at Israel's Border"

Jordanian riot police dispersed hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters attempting to reach the border with the Israeli-occupied West Bank, as thousands participated in anti-Israel demonstrations across the country. Concerned about the regional escalation of violence, Jordan, with a significant Palestinian population, fears the repercussions of the conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. The protests in Jordan included demands to close the Israeli embassy and scrap the 1994 peace treaty with Israel, which remains widely unpopular among Jordanians.
