Israel has halted the renewal of a water deal with Jordan that provides the kingdom with additional supplies at reduced prices, Israel’s public broadcaster KANreported.

The broadcaster said the deal, linked to key provisions of the 1994 Wadi Araba peace treaty, has not been renewed, without giving a reason.

Citing unnamed Israeli sources, KANsaid there are currently no expectations that the agreement will be signed, adding the issue has angered Jordan and could prompt a response from Amman.

KANalso quoted an unnamed Jordanian official as saying that “the water issue is extremely important for us, and it is also part of the peace agreement.”
