Thousands protest across Jordan against Gaza blockade

Thousands have rallied in cities across Jordan today to condemn the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza. Demonstrators called for an end to the siege of Gaza,  the opening of the Rafah crossing to allow vital aid to access the enclave,  and to scrap Jordan’s peace agreement with Israel.

One rally was staged outside the US embassy, condemning US support for Israel, and calling for a boycott of US products.
