This clip is a video of Jordanian MPs reacting to Israeli cabinet member Itamar Ben-Gvir’s recent visit to the Temple Mount Compound in Jerusalem. The video was posted to the Jordanian Parliament’s YouTube on January 4, 2023. In the video, Jordanian MP Khalil Attiyah (see MEMRI TV Clip No. 5941) said that Ben-Gvir is a “coward” and a “pig” and that Jordan’s border with Israel is a time bomb that will explode in his face. MP Muhammad Al-Shatnawi said that the Jews are one of the most cowardly nations in the world and that the Jordanians are prepared to be “martyrs” for the sake of Jerusalem and the holy places.

MP Yanal Fraihat said that all Jordanians will become fedayeen and martyrdom-seekers for the sake of Palestine and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and that the “sons of apes and pigs [i.e. the Jews]” must know that the Jordanians and Palestinians will soon react to this visit with bullets. MP Asma Saleh Al-Rawahneh said that Ben-Gvir is a “mouse” and that he should not be compared to a woman, because women are strong and prepare their sons for Jihad. MP Suleiman Abu Yahya said that the Jews in Palestine must know that the tides are turning and that the day will come when Jordanians strom Tel Aviv. MP Zohair Al-Saideen (see MEMRI TV Clip No. 8875) cited a hadith predicting that on Judgement Day, the trees and the stones in Palestine will call upon the Muslims to kill the Jews hiding behind them.
