Several hundred Jordanian protesters held a demonstration near the Israeli Embassy in Amman on Friday where they called for the cancellation of the Hashemite kingdom’s 1994 peace treaty with the Jewish state.
According to Israeli media reports, including one by Channel 2, the protesters chanted slogans such as, “A million martyrs are marching to Jerusalem” and “Resist, don’t give in.”
Tensions between Israel and Jordan have been running high since last Sunday’s incident in which an Israeli Embassy security guard shot two Jordanians dead after he was assaulted with a screwdriver. Jordan was also critical of the security measures — later lifted — Israel put in place at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem following the July 14 terrorist attack there in which two policemen were killed.
On Thursday, Jordanian King Abdullah II said the guard — who returned to Israel on Monday with the rest of the staff of the embassy, which now stands empty — must bear responsibility for his actions.
Abdullah went on to urge Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu — who publicly embraced the guard after his arrival back in Israel — to “honor his responsibilities and take the necessary legal measures to ensure that the killer is tried and justice is served, rather than exhibiting political showmanship in dealing with this crime to score personal political points.”
