Jordan slams Smotrich’s ‘violation of peace treaty,’ summons Israeli ambassador World Israel News Staff and Associated Press Jordanian officials were enraged over Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s comments to an audience in France Sunday evening, in which he said that there is no Palestinian nation. Israel’s Foreign Ministry released a statement affirming that it is committed to the countries’ 1994 peace agreement. “Who was the first Palestinian king? What language do the Palestinians have? Has there ever been a Palestinian currency? Is there a Palestinian history or culture? There isn’t any,” he said.
