Expert dismisses Jordanian rhetoric against Israel as election ‘propaganda’
Jordanian expert is dismissing comments opposing the peace treaty with Israel by Jordanian House Speaker Atef Tarawneh, who has a history of making anti-Israel statements, calling it election propaganda.
“This is a kind of propaganda, the parliamentary elections in Jordan will take place within six months,” Dr. Abdullah Sawalha, director of the Amman-based Center for Israel Studies, told The Jerusalem Post.
“Unfortunately, the more hostile to Israel you are the more popular you become,” he added.
