Angry Jordanians took to the streets outside the Israeli Embassy in Amman on Friday calling on the government to cancel its peace agreement with Israel.
Muslims in Jordan protested on Friday, taking to the streets after prayers services. Shouts of “Death to Israel” and “No Zionist embassy in Jordan” were heard as well.
The angry crowd called for justice for the two-people killed by embassy security officers; including a 17-year-old worker who attacked an embassy security officer with a screwdriver. A second person, reportedly a doctor, was wounded and died of his injuries later on. Initial reports blamed that death on a stray bullet.
Under pressure from Jordan, with the latter creating a diplomatic row, Israel has signaled that Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit will order a probe of the attack. In the interim, angry Jordanians are calling on King Abdullah II to cancel the 1994 peace agreement with Israel.
King Abdullah has been an open critic of Israel’s placement of metal detectors on Har Habayis following the attack, a moved perceived as infringing on Jordan’s authority over the holy site alongside the Islamic Waqf. Israel has since removed the controversial magnetometers.

“infringing on Jordan’s authority over the holy site alongside the Islamic Waqf.”
What authority does Jordan have over Har Habayis?
O and Bibi is the smartest politician? NOT!
His weakness has created so many problems for Israel!!!
This goes back to Moshe Dayan who gave up the har habayis after the 6 day war. This was the biggest mistake in the history of the state of Israel. They should have Bombarded that place and NEVER let another Arab or Muslim to step foot there.
BIbi should never agree to stop building in Yehuda and Shomron nor should he have backed down on any anti terror message that were taken, including the metal detectors.
The Israeli government are evil politicians who put the fake news of the media before the people of the country. Risking everyone’s lives, just so they can go onto the fake media and say, “look at us, we are better than the Palistinians
“………………….cancel its peace agreement with Israel.”
Do it and do it now. Jordan is Palestine. Jordan will turn on Israel in a second just as they did to their Palestinian brothers and sisters. They’re all backstabbing , lying Arabs. They should all kill each other. Yemach shemom.
It’s so painful to see the Arab dogs barking their putrid hate. One day soon Mossiach will come and we will rejoice as our filthy enemies are at long last reduced to dust and ash. Amen.
