Jordan’s King Abdullah II slammed Thursday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s warm welcome of the Israeli embassy security guard who killed two nationals in shooting incident last Sunday.
“This kind of behavior which is unacceptable and provocative on all levels has made us all angry and feeds extremism in the region” King Abdullah told a meeting of Jordan’s National Policies Council (NPC) at al-Husseiniya Palace on Thursday.
“The Israeli prime minister is obligated to act responsibly and prosecute the murderer instead of exploiting the crime for internal political purposes” he added.
On the other hand he extended his condolences to the families of the two victims who were shot and killed in the embassy incident.
During the meeting King Abdullah stressed Jordan’s keenness to respect international law and diplomatic norms as a state of law that respects its obligations and charters.
