(JNS) Jordan on Wednesday, Nov. 1 recalled its ambassador to Israel and told Jerusalem not to return its ambassador to Amman.

The Jordanian Foreign Ministry’s letter states that the move is in protest of the “raging Israeli war on Gaza, which is killing innocent people and causing an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, and carries dangerous possibilities for its expansion, which will threaten the security of the entire region and international security and peace.”

The letter makes no mention of Hamas or the Oct. 7 massacre. It also doesn’t mention the more than 8,000 rockets terrorists in Gaza fired at Israeli civilians since Oct. 7.

Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi said that the return of the ambassadors would be linked to “Israel stopping its war on Gaza.”
