JORDANIAN PARLIAMENT URGES GOVT. TO EXPEL ISRAELI ENVOY
May 8, 2013 – 18:02 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net – The Jordanian Parliament’s Lower House voted
Wednesday, May 8, to call on the government to expel Israel’s
ambassador to Amman and to recall the Jordanian ambassador from Israel,
The Jerusalem Post reported citing Jordanian news portal Ammon.
The non-binding vote came after Israel limited the entrance of Muslim
worshipers to the Temple Mount on Tuesday and allowed Jews to visit
the compound on the occasion of Jerusalem Day, which continued into
Wednesday.
Ammon quoted Jordanian Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour as saying the
“attacks” on al-Aksa Mosque by Israeli security forces and settlers
were “premeditated and foretell of evil intentions.”
According to the report, the Jordanian cabinet instructed Jordan’s
ambassador in Israel to file an official complaint to the Israeli
government, which could eventually be followed by a complaint to the
UN Security Council if the situation escalates.
