Amman - At least 10 pro-government Jordanian lawmakers have deposited a draft law with the speaker of the lower house of parliament proposing the abrogation of the peace treaty which Jordan concluded with Israel in 1994, parliamentary sources said Monday.

The move represented the culmination of a series of sharp reactions in the country to a proposal that was discussed recently by the Israeli Knesset depicting Jordan as the "alternative homeland" for the Palestinians.

The Israeli proposal, entitled "Two States for Two Peoples on the Two Banks of River Jordan", was put on the Knesset's agenda last month by deputy Arieh Elad of the far-right National Union/National Religious Party.

"The Israeli proposal violates the fourth article of the peace treaty which obliges each of the signatory states to respect the sovereignty, territorial integrity and political independence of the other state", the Jordanian deputies said in the preambles of their draft law.

The Israeli proposal runs counter to the two-state solution which is strongly supported by Jordan, other Arab states and the world's leading powers.

The two-state vision provides for the establishment of a Palestinian state on all territories Israel occupied in the 1967 Six- Day War, including East Jerusalem, that lives in peace with Israel.

The Jordanian lawmakers asked their bill be given "urgency", but parliamentary sources cast doubt on the possibility of putting the draft law on the agenda of the lower house, which is expected to be summoned from its summer recess later this month to hold an extraordinary session to debate a number of urgent draft laws.
