Al-Dostour: Jordanian- Israeli contacts over detainees

High ranking Jordanian sources announced that contacts are underway between Jordan and Israel concerning workers arrested by the Israeli occupation forces, and Israel wants to expel to Jordan under the pretext that they are Jordanians and working in Israel illegally.

In a statement to the Jordanian daily al-Dostour issued on Sunday, the same sources stressed that those workers, 25 in number, are from the " occupied Palestinian territories" and do not carry Jordanian passports and therefore they should stay in their lands and with their families.
