A senior Jordanian source stated that the Jordanian government is preparing a plan to replace the water purchase agreement with Israel, which expired three months ago, according to a report in the Jordanian newspaper Al-Ghad cited by @InbarYuval on X between 11:16 PM UTC on February 26 and 12:15 AM UTC on February 27, 2026. Preparation of the plan began last year at the direction of the Prime Minister following the agreement's expiration and reports of Israel's disinterest in renewal, the source told Al-Ghad. Final steps are underway toward signing a national water carrier agreement with local and international parties, expected to provide Jordan with 300 million cubic meters of drinking water annually. The water-doubling agreement between Israel and Jordan has not been renewed since its expiration three months ago, per the Al-Ghad report shared in the 59-minute reporting window.
