Amman on the morning of April 22, and unusually, stopped the car of MP Imad aggression on the King Hussein Bridge, for the purposes of inspection, tried to prevent the Israeli authorities from inspecting the crossing of King Hussein Bridge (Allenby) Jordan Valley, but it did not succeed, as quoted to Al Jazeera Net diplomatic sources asked not to be named.
The sources confirmed that the Shin Bet (Israeli) arrested "accused of arms trade in the occupied 48 territories" and interrogated him confessed to the source of his supply of weapons "and that he is the deputy Imad al-Adwan" and ambushed him.
The same sources said that Jordan has intensified its contacts with Israel according to two tracks, security and diplomatic, and with the utmost confidentiality, leading to the release of the MP through the conclusion of an unannounced "deal", but Tel Aviv conditioned Amman on "lifting immunity as soon as the defendant leaves, in addition to his appearance for a serious trial in the State Security Court, on charges related to smuggling weapons illegally."
The Israeli occupation authorities released, on Sunday morning, MP Al-Adwan after his arrest for about two weeks on charges of smuggling weapons and contraband to the West Bank.
Occupier Law
Meanwhile, Jordanian MP Saleh Al-Armouti has a point of view rejecting the course of what happened with his colleague Al-Adwan, based on the inadmissibility of adopting and acknowledging the Israeli narrative by the House of Representatives, stressing that the Israeli investigation of the aggression is illegal in the first place, given the inadmissibility of applying the law of the occupier to the people of the occupied territory, and this is consistent with international law and international conventions.
He added denouncing the island net "did not hear an opinion of the aggression nor the government, so how do we lift the immunity of the deputy?" stressing that lifting parliamentary immunity requires an official memorandum and duly, and referred to the Legal Committee of the Council, and provides for the rules of procedure to see the Council on the details of the incident, "which did not happen at all."
Armouti wonders about the purpose of throwing the House of Representatives into the case of MP Al-Adwan and embarrassing him popularly, as he lives his last days in the second parliamentary session, which is supposed to end on May 13, especially since the file was not originally included on the agenda of the session.
"We were in the parliament session discussing the Code of Civil and Sharia Procedure, and suddenly they boycotted the session to vote on lifting immunity from aggression," he said, describing the MP's return to the kingdom as positive.
MP al-Adwan enjoys immunity from being a member of the Bar Association, al-Armouti said, which means that an investigation may only be conducted in the presence of the President of the Bar Association or his delegate.
Far from the state of division that accompanied the arrest – between those who see the act of the MP as an act that requires accountability and accountability, and those who considered it a heroic act – Jordanian tweeters focused on the means of community communication to consider the MP's extradition to the Kingdom a victory for Jordanian diplomacy, away from skepticism and bidding, including the tweeter and Dean of the Faculty of Mass Communication at Yarmouk University, Dr. Khalaf Al-Tahat, and former Minister Samih Al-Maaytah, who stuck to the priority of the political option to solve the issue of MP Al-Adwan.
Now that MP Al-Adwan has been officially received and will be tried before the Jordanian courts, whatever the results of the trial, and our confidence is not shaken by the Jordanian military and civilian judiciary, this is the biggest victory for Jordanian diplomacy and feeding a large stone into the mouth of bidders...
