Herzog calls for government to preserve ties with Jordan
Opposition leader Isaac Herzog is calling on the government to do all it can to preserve good relations with Jordan, in the wake of the shooting at the Israeli embassy.
“Jordan is a strategic ally,” Herzog says, adding that Israel must do what it can to ensure the functioning of the embassy is not harmed either.
“We must respect the king and his kingdom. We must respect his honor and standing, particularly when it comes to the Temple Mount.”
