The Public Prosecutor of the Jordanian State Security Court charged the Jordanian MP, Imad Al-Adwan, who had his immunity lifted, with attempting to smuggle weapons from Jordan to the occupied West Bank, according to his lawyer, Ali Al-Mobaideen.

"MP Imad Al-Adwan appeared today (Tuesday) before the State Security Court and was interrogated by its public prosecutor on the grounds that the Israeli security forces caught him in possession of firearms and went to a border crossing last month," al-Moubaideen told AFP.

Al-Moubaideen said, "The court's prosecutor charged the aggression with two counts of exporting weapons with the intent to use them illegally, repeated four times, and carrying out acts that would disturb public order and threaten community security."

The aggression, if convicted of these two charges, faces a penalty of up to 15 years in prison, according to the Anti-Terrorism Law.
Israel handed over the aggression to the Jordanian authorities on the seventh of this month.

The Jordanian Parliament lifted his immunity based on the request of the Public Prosecution of the State Security Court.

And the Jordanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on April 23 that the Israeli authorities had stopped the aggression against the backdrop of its attempt to smuggle quantities of weapons and gold from Jordan to the occupied West Bank.

Imad Al-Adwan is 35 years old, and he is one of the youngest deputies, and he comes from one of the most famous tribes in Jordan.

He is a lawyer and a member of the Palestine Committee in the Jordanian Parliament and has political positions opposing the government.

Israeli media reported at the time that the Hebrew state authorities had stopped the aggression on the King Hussein Bridge (Allenby) and seized quantities of weapons and gold in his car while he was on his way to the West Bank occupied by Israel since 1967, without specifying its final destination or the purpose of smuggling it.

The Israelis transmitted on social media at the time a video clip that could not be verified showing the weapons that were said to have been seized in the deputy's car, including pistols and automatic rifles.

Jordan and Israel concluded a peace treaty in 1994.

Relations between the two countries were repeatedly described as "cold peace", and they were tense for many years under the rule of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and they have increased since his return to the prime minister recently.
