Amman (AFP) Dec 27, 2010 Jordan's powerful Islamist opposition urged the Palestinian Authority on Monday to "completely abandon" peace talks with Israel, calling for jihad against the Jewish state. "We demand that the Palestinian Authority completely abandon negotiations, which only provide cover and time for Israel to seize more land and evict more people," the Islamist Action Front (IAF) said on its website. "Security coordination with the Zionist enemy against the Palestinian resistance is a crime. Jihad (holy war) is the only way to restore stolen land, holy sites and rights," it said in a message to mark two years since Israel's devastating invasion of Gaza. The IAF, the political arm of Jordan's Muslim Brotherhood, also called on both the kingdom and Egypt to "announce that their peace treaties with the Zionist enemy are void." Israel launched its Cast Lead invasion in response to hundreds of rockets fired into the Jewish state. The December 2008-January 2009 war killed 1,400 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and 13 Israelis, 10 of them soldiers.
