Jordan: Activists plan to protest outside Al Kalouti Mosque in Amman March 22
Activists plan to protest outside Al Kalouti Mosque in Amman, Jordan, March 22. Increased security, localized transport disruptions likely.
Event
Activists plan to protest outside Al Kalouti Mosque in Amman from 21:30 March 22 to denounce Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's recent comments. Smotrich had shown a map of "Greater Israel" that included present-day Jordanian territory and denied the existence of Palestinians during a speech March 19. Hundreds of individuals could attend the demonstration.
Increased security and localized transport disruptions are likely near Al Kalouti Mosque through late March 22. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, particularly if demonstrators are overly disruptive or if they ignore police orders to disperse.
Advice
Avoid the protest due to the potential for clashes. Heed the advice of security personnel. Allow additional time if traveling through the affected area March 22.
