Protesters fought with riot police Friday outside of the Israeli Embassy in Jordan, as some 2,000 demonstrators called on the kingdom to end its peace treaty with the country over the killing of a Jordanian judge.
The death of Raed Zueter, a Jordanian magistrate of Palestinian descent, has caused an uproar in Jordan, triggering street protests and calls in parliament to annul the 1994 peace agreement with Israel.
The IDF said that guards shot Zueter on Monday after he tried to grab a rifle from a soldier at the border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan.
Israel was making concerted diplomatic efforts Monday night to quell tensions with Jordan, after a Jordanian magistrate’s court judge was shot dead at the Allenby border crossing earlier in the day
Israel was due to quickly pass the results of an investigation into the death of Raed Zeiter to Amman.
