Israel ratifies agreement with Jordan, US

Israel's government ratified an agreement allowing for the joint goods produced in ah-Hassan Industrial City in Irbid, Jordan to enter US markets free of taxation.

The agreement was made between Israel, Jordan and the US and was signed in Doha, Qatar in November during the Fourth Economic Conference for the Middle East and North African States.

The agreement said that goods produced by Jordanian - Israeli joint companies could get use of the Free Trade Agreement between Israel and the USA, signed 14 years ago.
