AMMAN, Jordan (AP) - Jordanian police have clashed with about 45 protesters outside the country's agricultural ministry, demanding an end to the import of Israeli fruits and vegetables.
Police wielded batons against some of the demonstrators, who chanted slogans that Israeli produce support Jewish settlements in occupied Arab lands.
Two men were arrested, and an Associated Press photographer at the scene said about six others joined them in the police van in a sign of solidarity. Two other people were injured.

Jordan is one of only two Arab countries to have signed a peace treaty with Israel.
Jordanian officials say the country, which imports 3,600 tons of agricultural produce yearly from the Israel, does not import any products from Jewish settlements.
