Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Jordanians continued their protests against their government’s natural gas deal with Israel, Safa news agency reported on Friday. Calls were again made for the $10 billion deal, signed at the end of September, to be cancelled.

Among a number of student protests, a sit-in was organised at the Faculty of Technological Engineering at the University of Jordan.

Following the Friday prayer, a massive demonstration started from the headquarters of the Professional Syndications Union. Protesters raised placards with slogans that buying gas from Israel is a “crime against Jordanians” and a form of normalisation of relations with the Zionist state. The demonstration moved towards the Jordanian Ministerial Council building.
