Thousands of Jordanians protested against the US decision to recognize Zionist sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights, which legally belongs to Syria.

Iran Press/Middle East: Tens of thousands of demonstrators poured through the streets of Jordan’s capital, Amman, holding anti-Israel signs and chanting slogans in support of Palestinian resistance movement and against Israeli occupation of east al-Quds.

Protesters also called for the protection of Al-Aqsa mosque, a holy Muslim site under Jordanian custodianship, the Associated Press reported.

The people of Jordan also protested against Israel's recent attack on Gaza and also declared their protest against the Jordanian government’s 1994 peace treaty with Israel.

The annual protest, known as Land Day, commemorates events in March 1976 when Israel seized land from northern Arab villages, leading to the killing of six Palestinians.

US President Donald Trump on 25 March 2019, signed a proclamation recognizing Israeli sovereignty over the occupied Golan Heights.

The move has led to a wave of regional and international condemnation of Donald Trump and his administration.

The Zionist regime occupied the Golan Heights in June 1967, and formally annexed it in 1981, a move that has never been recognized by the international community. 101/211/205
