Jordanian Lawyer Disbarred for Representing Israeli Kibbutz in Business Dispute Seeks Israeli Intervention

A Jordanian lawyer has asked Israeli authorities for intervention after he was disbarred from the Jordanian Bar Association (JBA) for representing an Israeli kibbutz in a business dispute with a Jordanian company. The controversy relates to the Jordanian private company ‘Hijazi & Ghosheh Group’, which works with meat and livestock (calves and sheep) exports. According to some Arabic media reports, Hijazi and Ghosheh export food and livestock to Israel through its Australia-based company LSS, which delivers the animals to Hijazi & Ghosheh’s quarantine station in the port city of Eilat. Kibbutz Eilot, in Arava, entered into a business dispute with Hijazi & Ghosheh in 2020 after an Israeli court ordered the latter to pay the kibbutz one million shekels/$300,000 in debt. The attempts to collect the debt failed, so the kibbutz hired Al-Rashidat, who sent Hijazi & Ghosheh a letter of warning prior to filing a lawsuit. However, the case was leaked to the media, leading JBA to disbar Al-Rashidat for « corroborating with Zionist settlements. »
