Moderate Jordan Picking Up Israeli Boycott

January 3, 2010

Jordan, which has signed a peace agreement with Israel, maintaining relatively open borders with Israel [albeit with restrictions] is showing its true colors, working to increase the scope of its anti-Israel boycott, seeking to halt Israeli produce from the Hashemite Kingdom.

In line with the strict state policy, the Jordanian minister of agriculture is working to trace the origin of some Israeli produce found in his country, and the law demands imports exhibit labels indicating the country of origin.

It should be pointed out that the minister”s actions are in violation of the trade agreements that exist between Amman and Jerusalem, but there do not seem to be any cries of outrage or objections from King Abdullah II as it now appears that the unofficial policy is to limit Israeli imports as much as possible.
