Jordan Times: University students demand severing of Jordanian-Israeli ties

AMMAN – Thousands of university students marched to the Parliament building on Sunday, calling for the government to end diplomatic relations with Israel as violence in the Gaza Stip escalated with the ground invasion of Israeli forces.

From the southern town of Muta to Irbid, Amman and Salt, university students converged on Parliament to participate in the first demonstration since the onset of the Israeli ground offensive.
