AMMAN – The Islamist movement has called on citizens across the country to amass at the Jordanian-Israeli border this Friday to urge for the “liberation of Jerusalem”.

The million-man march is part of a series of events to be held across the Arab world this week in solidarity with Jerusalem.

Kathem Ayesh, who handles the Palestinian file at the Muslim Brotherhood, said the event aims to commemorate the partition of historical Palestine in 1947, a precursor to the Nakbeh, or catastrophe, in 1948.

“We want to show the world that the Jordanian people stand in solidarity with the Palestinians and we reject any attempts to Judaise Jerusalem,” Ayesh told The Jordan Times.

According to organisers, they chose the Jordan Valley town of Sweimeh, 50 kilometres south of Amman and two kilometres from the Jordanian-Israeli border, as the venue of the rally as it represents the closest point in the Kingdom to Jerusalem.

The event, which will not feature any speeches, does not aim to incite any violence, Ayesh said. “This will be a peaceful march and we will not be going near the border.”

The march will be the first large-scale protest near the Jordanian-Israeli border since a rally to mark the Nakbeh earlier in May ended in clashes between protesters, counter-demonstrators and security forces.

NOTE by the editor: Well, we do not yet have a ‘new Saladdin’, however, something ‘very different’ needs to be tried – compared to the endless ‘peace process’ and ‘road maps’. I have suggested before that ALL Palestinians should walk, unarmed, at the same time ‘back home’. In any case: May Allah be our guide at all times!!!
