AMMAN, Jan 4 (KUNA) -- Jordanian Prime Minister Nader Al-Dahabi said on
Sunday that his government retains all the rights and views all options
available to reassess its relationship with anyone, "especially with Israel
when such issue concerns the country's highest national interest."
In a speech at a meeting with the Jordanian House of Representatives on the
latest developments in Gaza Strip, Al-Dahabi said "the government is dealing
with all the matters and developments on the basis of the national interest of
Jordan and the Palestinian cause."
Earlier, a number of Jordanian parliamentarians proposed a referendum for
the government to cut ties with Israel immediately and to expel the Israeli
ambassador from Amman amid ongoing Israeli brutal campaign against the
Palestinians in Gaza Strip.
The memorandum which was signed by a number of MPs noted that the least of
their "demands are to expel the Israeli ambassador from Jordan and the
freezing of relations with Israel." (end)
