The express: Israel is behind water shortage in Jordan
Jordan-Israel, Politics, 4/2/1999

The French "Express" magazine has asserted in its most recent issue published in Paris on Thursday that Jordan is preparing to witness a hard summer this year due to Israel's non-commitment to what the two sides had agreed upon in 1994 to provide Jordan with 50 million cubic meters of water. Israel said it will limit the amount of water delivered to Jordan to less than half of the set amount.

The French magazine asserted that such an Israeli stand plants seeds of doubt in the Jordanian people and political circles in Jordan on the real intentions of Israel.
