Jordan has refused to supply Israel with tomatoes after the Health Ministry banned tomato imports due to positive samples for cholera in the drainage area of the Yarmouk River. The incident has strained relations between the two countries, with Jordan awaiting an apology from Israel. Some sources suggest that the ban may be a way for Jordan to retaliate against Israel's actions in Gaza and Lebanon. However, Jordanian growers have stated that they have no problem finding alternative markets for their tomatoes.
