Jordanian law advances border demilitarization
The article discusses the proposed amendment to Jordan's Real Estate Law in 2026, which raises concerns about land expropriations in the southern Jordan Valley, particularly in Al-Ghor Al-Safi and Al-Ghor Al-Fifa. These areas constitute 1.9% of Jordan's territory and are considered a vital component of the national food security basket. The modification aims to update legislation and implement strategic projects but has sparked worry among farmers and parliamentarians about the potential use of the law to establish a buffer zone, similar to other border areas, with the goal of removing residents and facilitating displacement. This has fueled fears of non-Jordanian ownership of land and exploitation by Israeli occupation. Farmers affirm that their lands are 100% suitable for agriculture and are concerned about losing their livelihoods. Meanwhile, officials claim that the amendments will be limited to residential ownership and related projects, emphasizing the need to regulate non-Jordanian ownership in a manner that ensures national security.
