Alwaght- Israeli officials said Tuesday they were reopening the regime's embassy in Jordan, which has been shut for six months. The move comes after Amman and Tel Aviv resolved a diplomatic dispute over a deadly shooting.
The embassy in Amman is in the process of “gradual reopening,” Israeli regime’s foreign ministry spokesman Emmanuel Nahshon said, without providing further details.
On July 23, a security guard for the Israeli regime’s embassy shot dead a Jordanian worker who had allegedly tried to stab him in the back, according to the Israeli foreign ministry.
A second Jordanian, the apartment landlord, was also killed.
The guard was briefly questioned by investigators in Jordan before returning to the occupied territories along with the rest of the embassy staff, where he received a hero’s welcome from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu along with ambassador Einat Shlein, sparking widespread anger in Jordan.
Amman later said it would not allow the embassy staff to return until Tel Aviv opened a serious investigation and offered an apology.
Israeli justice ministry said in August it was launching a police “examination” into the incident.
On January 18, Amman said Tel Aviv had apologized for the killing of the two Jordanians as well as the killing of a Jordanian judge by an Israeli soldier at the countries’ border in 2014, and agreed to compensate all three families.
Jordan , the custodian of Muslim holy sites in al-Quds (Jerusalem), has been under pressure from its citizens for maintaining ties with the Zionist regime which continues to occupy al-Quds.
Jordanians regularly hold protests calling for the shutting down the of the Israeli regime’s embassy, expelling the ambassador, and canceling the 1994 peace treaty with Israel.
