An accusation that a popular Jordanian member of parliament made earlier this month in the legislature has left a strong impression on many officials. The accuser is Khalil Attiyeh, a parliamentarian of Palestinian origin who regularly chalks up some of the highest vote counts in the country.
During the Dec. 4 legislative session, held to discuss the 2019 annual budget, Attiyeh demanded that Prime Minister Omar Razzaz look into reports that a Jordanian notary public had certified the paperwork for the attempted sale of a Palestinian home in East Jerusalem to Israelis.
