Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Head and members of the Senate's Palestine Committee on Sunday, condemned the Israeli occupation army for deliberately shooting Jordanian Saeed Al Amr near the Damascus Gate in occupied Jerusalem's walled Old City.
Head of the committee Senator Nayef Al Qadi said this barbaric act by the occupation forces violates all international norms.
He urged the Jordanian government to take all relevant measures at the local and international levels to expose the Israeli aggressive practices against the Palestinians in Jerusalem and other Palestinian lands.
Al Qadi affirmed Jordan's stance in defending the interests and rights of the Palestinian people, as well as its support to their efforts in establishing an independent state within the June 4, 1967 borders with Jerusalem as its capital.
The Jordanian citizen entered the occupied Palestinian territories on Thursday with a tourist group to visit the holy city.
