Despite what its supporters say, Jordan's refusal to extradite #AhlamTamimi to Washington where she has faced terror charges since 2013 rests on just one official leg: a local court decisision claiming the 1995 treaty Jordan signed with the US was never properly ratified.

There's no doubt at all that Jordan ratified the treaty in 1995. The fact that the act of ratification (in writing and we have the document) wasn't mentioned by the Jordanian court in its ruling invalidating the treaty in the case of #AhlamTamimi is significant in itself.

Even if the ratification is faulty (it's not), Jordan's parliament, dominated by the king, could fix the defect today. It hasn't and won't because it's the key to the easy way out. Jordan can and under the treaty must extradite the Hamas savage whom it has shielded for years.
