Opposition to the gas deal between #Jordan and #Israel is not going to go away; in fact, it is growing daily across all sectors of Jordanian society, including those close to the authorities. The agreement is due to begin in 2017 and last for 15 years. Jordans parliamentarians have said no to it, as have the unions; parties on all sides have rejected it and womens, youth and student organisations have said that they will not buy Israeli gas. Retired military personnel have also expressed their opposition along with some senators appointed by the king and former government leaders. Social media campaigns liken the purchase of Israeli gas to being part of the occupation of #Palestine, as have public demonstrations.
