Orthodox Christian patriarchy in Jerusalem leased two hotels to a company registered in Israel. Israel allowed Jordan to administer the Temple Mount and the lands in Jerusalem where Christian churches have property. Jordan bans sale of real estate to non-Arabs – a version of the earlier law that prohibited land sales to Jews. Jordan sentenced scores of Arabs to death for selling land to Israelis, recently convicted the Arabs who sold Israeli Jews a house in Hebron now known as “House of Peace.”
Jordan signed peace treaty with Israel, pushes the peace process, and regularly hosts Israeli peace activists.
