| Jordan Dismisses Pilot For Refusing To Visit Israel | |
| 2015-12-18 | |
| Jordan dismissed a Royal Jordanian Air Force pilot from the Kingdom’s air force after he refused to visit Israel as part of a joint military venture between the two neighboring countries. Pilot Majdi al Samadi is reported to have said to his commanders that he was “trained as a pilot not to cooperate with Israel but to fight it” The command was given as part of a joint military venture between the two countries which last month conducted joint training operation sin the United States. News of the incident was not announced by the military or the government, prompting the pilot’s relatives to go public with their outrage. The family of the pilot is angry over the fact that the military will not provide al-Samdi with the same benefits other discharged soldiers receive.
In 1994 Jordan and Israel signed a peace treaty. Nonetheless, the Hashemite kingdom’s ties to Israel remain deeply unpopular in a country where Arabs of Palestinian descent comprise a majority of its subjects. | |
