LIVE: Jordanians rally against water-for-energy deal with Israel

Ruptly is live from Amman on Friday, November 26, as protesters call to reject the recently signed agreement between Jordan, Israel and the UAE on a water-for-energy deal. The new deal between Amman, Tel Aviv and Abu Dhabi is the largest-ever cooperation agreement between the countries. It was announced at the Dubai Expo on November 22, with US Climate Envoy John Kerry in attendance. According to the deal, Israel will purchase solar power from a Jordan-based facility constructed by an Emirati firm, and Jordan will purchase water from an Israeli site to be constructed along the Mediterranean coast. ​
