Jordanian engineer union denies membership to graduates from Israeli universities

The Jordanian engineers syndicate's council decided not to accept the membership of any graduate from any of the Israeli universities, also breaking with Jordanian tourism offices after the union discovered the offices were agents of the Israel airline company, El Al.

In a statement yesterday, the union said the decision to refuse the memership of engineers who graduated from Israeli universities came in response to the resolution of the vocational unions with the support of the dentists' union to refuse to accept any graduate from Hebron University, according to the resolutions of the general assembly of the engineering union, which opposes normalization with Israel.

The union said it has distributed its rupture decision concerning the tourism offices after discovering they are agents for the Israeli airline company.
