Jordanian authorities have banned all events marking the "Nakba," or Catastrophe, as Arabs refer to the creation of Israel 60 years ago.

Several pro-Palestinian groups and Jordanian opposition parties has been planning to hold a rally in Amman on Friday.

But the authorities informed the organizers of the decision to ban the event, as well as other "illegal public gatherings."

The Islamic Labor Front, which was planning a major rally in the capital, condemned the ban as unconstitutional.

The party expressed outrage over the decision, noting that the Jordanian government had allowed the Israeli Embassy in Amman to celebrate Israeli Independence Day.
