REUTERS/Muath Freij Acquire Licensing RightsAMMAN, Oct 13 (Reuters) - Jordanian riot police on Friday forcibly dispersed hundreds of pro-Palestinian protesters trying to reach a border zone with the Israeli-occupied West Bank as thousands held anti-Israel demonstrations across the country, witnesses said. The interior ministry had issued a ban against holding anti-Israel marches in the sensitive border area, where it said the Jordan river valley was closed to protesters but that licensed protests elsewhere would be allowed. Several thousand protesters near downtown Amman chanted slogans in support of Hamas and demanded the government close the Israeli embassy and scrap the 1994 peace treaty with Israel. The Israeli embassy, where protesters gather daily, has long been a flashpoint of anti-Israel protests at times of turmoil in the Palestinian territories.

AMMAN, Dec 16 (Reuters) - One senior police officer was killed on Thursday in clashes with demonstrators in the southern Jordanian city of Maan during protests over high fuel prices that spread to several cities across the kingdom, police and witnesses said. A police source had earlier said the officer was shot by unknown assailants during clashes in the Husseiniya area of Maan. Witnesses said a long convoy of armoured vehicles was seen entering Maan as reinforcements were sent to the neighbourhood where the police officer was killed. Tensions have been mounting in Maan and several cities in southern Jordan after days of sporadic strikes by lorry drivers protesting high fuel prices. Some activist strikers have threatened to stage street protests in provincial cities on Friday.

The running of the World Cup is the only opportunity that Qatar sees for redemption," said Marc Owen Jones, an associate professor at Hamad Bin Khalifa University. "The markers of a successful World Cup would be as a nation-branding exercise, to position Qatar as an important sports hub in the Middle East and the wider Arab world," he said. 'HYPOCRISY'The first Middle Eastern country to host the World Cup, Qatar hailed it as a regional milestone when it was awarded the tournament in 2010. "The reasons given for boycotting the World Cup do not add up. Pressing back against its criticism, Qatar points to labour reforms aimed at protecting migrant workers from exploitation and says the system is a work in progress.

Într-un comunicat, premierul Netanyahu a declarat că a dat undă verde pentru declararea stării de urgenţă în Lod, în timp ce poliţia a informat despre 'revolte' ale minorităţii arabe locale după moartea violentă, marţi, a unui arab israelian.Potrivit unui fotograf al AFP, citat de agerpres, prim-ministrul Israelului s-a deplasat la Lod în noaptea de marţi spre miercuri pentru a face apel la calm, în timp ce în acest oraş situat în apropierea aeroportul internaţional Ben Gurion se instala un dispozitiv puternic de securitate.Luni seara târziu, Lod, un oraş cu o populaţie mixtă de 77.000 de locuitori, 47.000 de evrei şi 23.000 de arabi, situat în suburbiile Tel Avivului, a fost scena unor ciocniri violente, în urma cărora un arab israelian a fost ucis de un evreu.Marţi seară, în timp ce manifestaţiile s-au înmulţit în Ierusalimul de Est, în Cisiordania, dar şi în oraşele arabe din Israel, situaţia a degenerat la Lod, potrivit informaţiilor furnizate de poliţie.
