It added that any action Israel takes because of this as illegal and null, according to AmmanNet.

The association added in a statement that its council has decided to instruct Jerusalemite lawyers who are members of the association to follow the events and provide the necessary support Adwan and to maintain contact until he is released unconditionally.

The association also strongly denied the “false Zionist narrative which corresponds to Israeli misinformation” about the Jordanian MP who is well-known for his patriotic stances towards the Palestinian people.
