Jordan accuses Hamas of leading pro-Palestine protests in Amman

Jordan has accused Hamas of leading pro-Palestine protests outside the Israeli embassy in Amman as thousands gather daily to demand an end to normalisation with Israel. 

MEE's Mohammed Ersan reports that Jordanian security have already detained hundreds of political activists since October 7.

The protests have gathered pace even though the embassy has no diplomatic mission, following the departure of Israel's ambassador in October and Jordan's recalling of its ambassador in protest of the Israeli war on Gaza.

Ersan notes that Jordanian authorities have been caught off guard by the size of the Ramadan protests, which average between 6,000 to 10,000 participants.
