Jordanian protesters at Israeli embassy call for ending peace treaty

Protesters gathered near the Israeli Embassy in the Jordanian capital Amman on Friday, angry that an Israeli embassy guard who shot dead a Jordanian national had returned to Israel and been granted diplomatic immunity.


A Reuters witness said around 200 people had assembled peacefully in the vicinity of the embassy. Scores chanted, "Death to Israel," and called for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador and scrapping of an unpopular peace treaty with Israel.

A heavy Jordanian police presence had sealed off the area around the embassy so the protesters gathered nearby.
