(ANSAmed) - MARCH 13, AMMAN - The Jordanian parliament called on the government to abolish the peace treaty with Israel following recent attacks on the coastal enclave that left tens killed and injured, lawmakers said today. At least 38 MPs signed a petition calling for ending the 1994 Wadi Araba peace treaty, which brought to an end five decades of war between the two neighbours. The parliament, however, failed to vote on the request, prompting Islamist lawmakers to walk out of the session in protest. "We must send a strong message to Israel that its war crimes in Gaza are not acceptable," said Hamzeh Mansour, head of the Islamic Action Front (IAF), bloc. The IAF is the most influential political party in the kingdom and the political wing of the Muslim Brotherhood. For the peace treaty to be abolished, the lower house must first vote unanimously before another vote is carried out by the Senates, who is appointed by the king. Jordan is only the second Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel after Egypt. The tempered session, held late Wednesday also saw deputies calling for "kicking out the Danish ambassador from Amman" to protest against publishing controversial cartoons depicting prophet Mohammad in local newspapers. They also called for boycotting Danish products and that the government sends a letter of condemnation to protest the 'provocative measures.'' (ANSAmed).
