— 🇮🇱/🇯🇴 NEW: According to Hebrew media, Israel has informed its ally Jordan that it will not deliver the agreed upon 50 million cubic meters of water previously agreed upon under a treaty signed in 1994

Israeli officials claim it's due to 'technical difficulties' and the inability to desalinate water at the previously agreed upon price.

Jordan is the world's second most water-scarce country and is currently facing a drought. Despite having defended Israel at every chance, even injuring its own citizens while intercepting Iranian missiles and drones, is seemingly unable to get what it needs from Israel in return.
