A new appeal to the House of Representatives: Write off the allocations of the gas agreement with the Zionists from the general budget

Monday, 16/1/2023

The Jordanian national campaign to overthrow the gas agreement with the Zionist entity (enemy gas is occupation) renews its appeal to the members of the House of Representatives, after the parliament repeatedly failed to stop the decision-makers rushing towards the Zionization of our country, and failed to curb their tendency to subject Jordan to subordination before the Zionist entity in the energy and water files. And failed to prevent their support for Zionist terrorism with billions of Jordanian taxpayers, instead of investing these billions in our country, to support our economy, strengthen our sovereignty and independence, and develop our sovereign energy sources from Jordanian gas fields, renewable energy sources, oil shale, national water desalination projects, and many others. .

The House of Representatives had voted twice against the gas agreements with the Zionist entity, by an overwhelming majority in 2014, and unanimously in 2019, and the House of Representatives had submitted to the government a bill banning the import of gas from the Zionists in 2020, while the Finance Committee attributed to the House in 2019 the deletion of the item related to compensation allocations. Acquisition of citizens’ lands for the benefit of the gas pipeline from the general budget for the following year.

However, the response of the decision-makers has always been to ignore the deputies, to dismiss their decisions, or to throw them into the trash cans, so the decision-makers moved (despite the parliamentary refusal) from the stage of the non-binding letter of intent (in 2014) to the actual signing of the agreement in 2016, and then to the start of pumping. In 2020, and then to transform our country into corridors for the export of gas imported from the Zionists to Egypt, and to convert the Arab gas pipeline into a Zionist gas pipeline in 2022, and then start promoting the stolen Palestinian gas to the Jordanian industrial sector and industrial cities to enable the Zionists from the economic nerve of the country, which is the decision-makers project for the year The current 2023, while the decision-makers spent millions of dinars from the budget instead of some of the land acquisitions that they made in favor of extending the stolen Palestinian gas import line, and they continue to violate the constitution by keeping the draft law to prevent the import of gas from the Zionists in parliament in their inclusion, without returning it to the parliament to complete its course. Legislative.

All this happened and is happening in light of the complete inability of the House of Representatives to follow up on its decisions, and its inability to hold accountable those who ignored them and acted against them, and were unable to hold accountable those who acted against the vital and strategic interests of the country and the citizens, which indicates that there is actual collusion with the decision-makers, which makes The Council is a tool for rhetoric and non-binding actions only, but when action, obligation, accountability, and accountability are necessary, nothing happens, despite the Council having constitutional oversight and legislative powers that enable it (if it has the will) to cancel these agreements, hold those responsible accountable, and bring down governments that refuse to implement its decisions. and its legislation.

And all of this happened and is happening in the context of what the campaign has repeatedly warned about, with the rise of the Terrorism and Racism Battalion to power recently in the Zionist entity. Here is a government representing the far right of the Zionist terrorist right ascending to power, and thus becoming – the first in control of the gas supply to Jordan, the main artery To generate basic electricity for the life of every citizen, and for all the commercial, industrial and economic sectors in our country, and the repercussions of the decision-makers’ crime became clear, as the fate of Jordan’s energy became in the hands of the Netanyahu-Smotrich-Ben Gvir-Dari alliance, the hawks of Zionist racism and its subjugating settlement project, which does not put the fate of Palestine and the Palestinians in the hands of The sign of the imminent danger only, but rather puts the strategic security of Jordan and its citizens in the winds of this project, which is not deterred by deterrence, and is not limited by borders.

With this, the decision makers completed the cycle of dependency by placing Jordan and its political decision subject to extortion of the supply of energy and water, in a total and complete waste of the interests of Jordan and Palestine together, and subjected them (with premeditation, and despite the rejecting popular will, and the clear parliamentary decisions in this regard) to the possibility of extortion in a vital file. Its dimensions and dangers are known to those who follow the global repercussions of the war in Ukraine, Europe’s desperate attempts to gain independence from dependence on Russian gas, and the economic and political consequences resulting from, and consequent to, dependence on major vital files such as energy and water. What will the decision makers do if the Zionist entity threatens Jordan (just as Russia threatened Europe, and it did) by cutting off its gas and water supplies?

Therefore, the campaign requests the House of Representatives, in a specific, clear and unambiguous manner:

1- Deleting all financial allocations in the new general budget for the year 2023, related to the implementation of the gas agreement with the Zionists, starting with the annual payments for the supply of gas, land acquisition compensation, up to legal advice and the wages of government employees in the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Finance working on this file, and crossing out The government guarantee of the National Electric Power Company related to the gas import agreement, which will cost the state treasury billions of taxpayers’ money, and the suspension of the Council’s approval of the budget until the government actually implements it.

2- Using his authority to refer all ministers and prime ministers, past and present, who are responsible for preparing for, signing, implementing, and sustaining these agreements, to judicial and legal accountability, based on the Ministers Trial Law, especially in its provisions related to high treason, abuse of power, and breach of authority. The duty of the job, as the law entrusted the House of Representatives with the possibility of referring serving and former ministers to the Public Prosecution.

The campaign had previously sent an appeal to the 18th House of Representatives, requesting that the allocations for the gas agreement be removed from the 2020 budget, which happened at the time, as the Parliamentary Finance Committee recommended that to the parliament, and the parliament voted on the budget omitting the allocations from it, but the decision-makers, as usual, They ignored this decision, while, as usual, neither the previous nor the current Council followed up on its recommendations and decisions.

The Jordanian national campaign to drop the gas agreement with the Zionist entity (the enemy’s gas is occupation), which consists of a broad coalition of political parties, labor and professional unions, popular groups and movements, military retirees, women’s activists, and patriotic personalities, and indicates condemnation of the crime of decision-makers and their governments. , and demands that they be held accountable for the betrayal and crime represented in their failure to maintain the strategic security of the country, their failure to develop it economically and politically, and their squandering of the citizens’ money in order to buy dependence and support Zionist terrorism, and at the same time, it puts the House of Representatives today before its historical responsibilities to drop this agreement and hold those in charge accountable Especially since he has full constitutional, supervisory and legislative powers for that, and he must stop this deliberate sabotage of the Jordanian economy, stop this complete waste of taxpaying citizens’ money, stop supporting Zionist terrorism without conscience or morals, and start his first steps by writing off all incoming allocations. In the budget related to the gas agreement, declared and hidden, and to oblige decision-makers to write off this.
