The Jordanian<\/a> Parliament voted unanimously to remove mentions of “Israel” from the minutes of a debate on Monday, Jordanian and Israeli media reported.<\/p>\n The parliament debate covered US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee<\/a>‘s statements regarding the Israeli Security Cabinet’s proposed West Bank administration reforms<\/a>.<\/p>\n The call to remove mentions of Israel was submitted by MP Hail Ayash, who said that the name of the Jewish state “represents an enemy to every Jordanian.”<\/p>\n Jordanian Parliament Speaker Mazen al-Qadi said Huckabee’s comments, which allegedly justified Israel\u2019s control over “Arab lands,” violated international law and the United Nations charter. “These statements are a blatant provocation and a serious breach of state sovereignty,” Qadi said.<\/p>\n The West Bank and Gaza Strip are Palestinian<\/a> territories, Qadi stated, emphasizing that any claims rooted in [Jewish] religious narratives are “unacceptable and undermine prospects for a just, two-state solution,” according to anti-Zionist outlet Roya News.<\/p>\n
