Event
Activists plan to protest outside the Ministry of Water and Irrigation in Amman from 12:00 Nov. 9 to denounce the water-for-energy deal between Jordan and Israel. Under the agreement, Jordan would provide Israel with solar energy in exchange for desalinated water. Hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.
