Envoy says dispute with Jordan will be over ‘shortly’

Israel’s UN ambassador says he believes the standoff with Jordan over the killing of two Jordanians by an Israeli security guard near Israel’s embassy in Amman will be resolved “shortly.”

Danny Danon tells reporters at the UN headquarters in New York Monday that “we are resolving it with the Jordanians.”

Jordan reportedly wants to investigate the guard who opened fire and has prevented staff from leaving the premises. Israel says he has diplomatic immunity.
