“Jordan’s policy with regard to the Jews will never change. We shall never enter into negotiations leading to peace with them, ” Abdul Huda Pasha, new Jordan Premier, told the Times of London in an interview published here today.

The Premier, who was brought to power following the resignation of the el-Mulki government over a British note advising Jordan to confer with Israel over the armistice agreement, said that his government would not give any consideration “to pressure from any foreign power. ” He said that Jordan would act in accordance with the views of the Arab states in relation to Israel.
