Hundreds of thousands of Jordanians have protested throughout the last three weeks demanding that their government take a strong stance against Israel.
Jordan on Sunday denied the allegation of permitting the US army to utilize the kingdom’s military base to deliver equipment and ammunition to the Israeli army amid a devastating Israeli war on Gaza.
The Jordanian denial was communicated through the state-run Petra news agency on Sunday.

An unnamed military source from the Jordanian Armed Forces said the allegation circulating on social media is baseless and is intended to discredit Jordan’s firm stance on the Palestinian issue and the reputation of the Jordanian army.
The source stressed that Jordanian field hospitals continue treating the casualties from Gaza despite all challenges and difficulties, and the Royal Air Force deployed planes to deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged Palestinian enclave.
Hundreds of thousands of Jordanians have protested throughout the last three weeks demanding that their government take a strong stance against Israel and sever ties with Tel Aviv over ongoing massacres targeting Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

Israel has, thus far, killed over 8,000 Palestinians in Gaza, and wounded more than 20,000. Palestinian Ministry of Health reports and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
On Friday night, Israel intensified airstrikes and expanded its ground operations in Gaza, while knocking out all communications for Palestinians in the besieged Strip.
Gaza has been under a tight Israeli military siege since 2007, following a democratic election in occupied Palestine, the results of which were rejected by Tel Aviv and Washington.
