Jordan, PA discuss difficulties of Palestinians to enter kingdom
Palestinian local affairs minister, Saeb Erakat spoke about a "crisis" with West Bank Palestinians seeking to travel to Jordan, after talks he held Wednesday with Jordan's Foreign Minister, Marwan Moasher. Jamil Tarifi, the Palestinian minister of civil affairs, who accompanied Erakat to Jordan, was to discuss the issue later Wednesday with Jordanian Interior Minister Koftan Majali. Jordan imposed travel restrictions on West Bank Palestinians crossing into its territory via the King Hussein (Allenby Bridge) at the end of March, to preempt any attempt by Israel to expel them."Hey! Don't look at us! We tossed 'em, you took 'em, they're your problem now...!" Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2002-07-11 |
