The Israeli occupation has claimed that the Jordanian government agreed to extend the 25-year lease to Israel over Al Ghamr Jordanian area, south of Jordan, an Israeli newspaper published.

Maariv posted that senior officials at the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs reached an agreement with senior officials at the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates to extend the lease for one more year.

The Israeli newspaper published so just days before the agreement ends.

The Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty, known as Wadi Arabah Treaty, was signed in 1994. By signing the treaty, Jordan became the second Arab country after Egypt to sign a peace treaty with Israel.

The agreement consists of 30 articles, five annexes and agreed minutes. It settled bilateral relations regarding territory, security, water, and cooperation on trade among other issues.
