The Jordanian national parties have called for boycotting the American made merchandise and commodities as a practical reaction to the American bias towards Israel and supporting its aggression against the Palestinian people.

Sources of the higher coordination committee of the Jordanian national parties said that citizens' committees were formed to supervise the boycott campaign in various areas in Jordan through media and intellectual activities.

The coordination committee issued a call addressed to the Jordanian masses calling for boycott of American and Israeli goods, describing that as a national, religious and patriotic duty.

Meantime, the Jordanian vocational trade unions and other citizen activists decided to organize national campaigns to consolidate the principle of boycotting the American Merchandise as a long term process.
