The Foreign Ministry formally expressed regret, Sunday evening, at Jordan's decision not to renew the leases to Israeli farmers in the Tzofar and Naharayim enclaves.
The ministry's statement noted, "The Jordanian government will continue to respect Israeli-owned private property rights in Naharayim, as stipulated in the peace treaty between the states. As for Tzofar, the Jordanian government will allow Israeli farmers to what they planted in the enclave before the expiration of the special arrangements."
