Ammon News - AMMONNEWS - Grassroots and partisan forces on Tuesday staged a sit-in in front of the U.S. embassy in Amman in protest of the so-called "Deal of the Century" which U.S. President Donald Trump has just announced.

The protesters expressed the Jordanian and Palestinian people's rejection of the deal, stressing that the nation cannot give up Palestine and Jerusalem and its sanctities. They chanted that the deal "will fall, no matter how strong the state behind it is."

The protesters called on the Arab countries not to accept this deal because it would lead to the destruction of the nation if it is approved, and would contribute to more tension in the region.

They affirmed the necessity of unity at these times and standing behind the leadership of His Majesty King Abdullah II, who affirmed Jordan’s rejection of this deal.
