Israeli flags in Palace - Not Aqaba Streets

Aaron Lerner Date: 4 June 2003

While Israel Radio reported that while the streets of Aqaba are decorated
today with the flags of Jordan, U.S. and the PLO/PA, Jordan declined to put
Israeli flags in the streets.

Amir Weiss, the spokesman of the Israeli Embassy in Amman, took an upbeat
tone in an interview on Israel Radio, noting that Israeli flags were inside
the king's palace in Aqaba for the meeting.

At 9:47 AM Israel Radio pointed out it is becoming embarrassing that the
Jordanians have yet to permit the Israeli flag to be displayed at the press
center.
