| Israeli ambassador returns to embassy in Amman |
| 2011-09-17 |
| Remaining officials set to return next week after being evacuated when protests outside mission call for end of peace treaty with Israel. Israeli ambassador to Jordan, Daniel Nevo, on Friday returned to Amman after being evacuated Wednesday and brought back to Israel as a protective precaution when mass protests were organized outside the mission in the Jordanian capital. All diplomatic personnel at the embassy, with the exception of the No. 2 official there, left Amman on Wednesday. Generally, because of overall security concerns and the short distance between the countries, the staff -- whose families are not with them during the week -- return to Israel each Thursday for the weekend. |
