Jordanian MP Yahya Al-Saud Supports Suicide Bombings in Israel, Calls to "Tear Up" the Peace Accord, Says that Women Are Unsuited for Politics
Jordanian MP Yahya Al-Saud, chairman of the Palestine Committee of the Jordanian Parliament, said that he was in favor of "both armed and peaceful" resistance and supported "martyrdom bombing operations" in Israel. Al-Saud was visiting Ramallah as part of a delegation of Jordanian parliamentarians. The interview, which was posted on the Palestinian Donia Al-Watan website on November 9, was held following the delegation's meeting with Palestinian PM Rami Hamdallah and prior to its meeting with President Abbas. In the interview, Al-Saud further said that women were unsuited for politics and that he would not accept a women parliamentary speaker, and he threatened to end the interview when the interviewer said that he would allow his wife to go out with her girlfriends at night.
