A Jordanian Member of Parliament cruelly reprimanded the Syrian system of Bashar Al-Assad and appealed to God for its ruin, as the Kingdom endeavors to improve and reestablish full binds with the system.

During an oversight meeting of Jordan’s House of Representatives yesterday, MP Ali Al-Khalayleh faced the public authority about the Syrian system’s infringement of Jordan’s water freedoms, expressing that “this system doesn’t conform to our administration’s water privileges, and it has fabricated 23 new dams on the Yarmouk River, depleting the water bowl on the boundary, and digging wells near the line.”

He approached Amman to “move to gather our water privileges before the worldwide, Arab and Islamic people group”, and furthermore made the petition that “I appeal to God to eliminate this system that mistreats our youngsters in Syria.”

Al-Khalayleh’s remarks on the infringement of water privileges were affirmed by Jordan’s Minister of Water and Irrigation, Muhammad Al-Najjar, who recognized that the Syrian system had surpassed its portion of the water — moving from the Yarmouk waterway — and disregarded the 1987 water understanding which specifies that Jordan will assemble a dam with a limit of 220 million cubic meters while Syria would work around 25 dams for the water system, relying on the prerequisite that it will profit from the electric power created by the Al-Wehda dam.

Notwithstanding that affirmation, in any case, the Deputy Prime Endlessly clergyman of Local Administration, Tawfiq Krishan, requested that Al-Khalayleh’s expression “the require the Syrian system to leave” be taken out. A vote was then held, and it was concluded that the expression is crossed out from the meeting’s gathering record.

Preceding that vote, Al-Khalayleh safeguarded his remarks by saying that the Assad system “attempted to kill King Hussein, and killed the Lebanese Prime Minister, Rafik Hariri. It is a criminal system, and these are current realities.”

This isn’t whenever the MP first has caused problems over his analysis of Assad. In 2011, toward the beginning of the Syrian upheaval, he got passing dangers subsequent to referring to the Syrian system as “bad and ridiculous” in a discourse.

The MP’s analysis and the expulsion of his remarks come in the midst of the quickly warming ties between Amman and Damascus, following long periods of Jordan’s judgment of Syrian security powers’ fierce crackdown on tranquil fights, which made the Kingdom cut attaches with the system.

Since the time Syrian powers — with the assistance of their partners Russia and Iran — recovered the majority of the country throughout recent years, notwithstanding, Arab states in the district, like Egypt and Jordan, have reestablished their binds with Assad.

Last year, Jordan completely resumed its fundamental boundary-crossing with Syria and the restarting of non-stop trips to Damascus was declared. Amman has likewise joined endeavors to help Damascus’ re-visitation of the Arab League, and Jordanian King Abdullah held his first call with Assad in October following 10 years.
