The opening as it read in 2025
Mudar Zahran in Jerusalem Mudar Zahran ( Arabic : مضر زهران ; born 19 April 1973) is a Jordanian who has been described as the secretary general of the alleged Jordanian Opposition Coalition. Born to parents of Palestinian origin in 1973, Zahran moved to live in the United Kingdom in 2010. In 2014, Zahran was indicted by a Jordanian military court on four separate charges against due to several articles he wrote, in which he claimed, among other things, that Jordan is an apartheid state resembling that of South Africa. In September 2019, due to "security reasons", he was denied entry into Israel where he was scheduled to meet with right-wing and settler leaders. The Jerusalem Post reported that Zahran had faced accusations by some in Israel (including columnists Ruthie Blum and Dr Harold Rhode , the Post' s writer Caroline Glick and the Elder of Ziyon blog ) of being a "fraud" and that his so-called the "Jordan Opposition Coalition" is only present on the internet without a real backing in Jordan. There are <ref group=note> tags on this page, but the references will not show without a template (see the help page ).
