Jordan asked its ambassador to return home as troubles continue. On Wednesday, the Jordon’s foreign ministry, While the ground invasion of Gaza continued by Israel, on its X handle, posted that this step is taken as a protest against the unprecedented destruction of Gaza by Israel.
The ministry further said that its ambassador’s return is only possible when Israel will end war and stop further escalations. The ministry also noted that the same conditions are for Israel’s ambassador, who left Jordon two weeks ago over the fear of protests.
