Israel’s Foreign Ministry says the man who attacked and killed two Israelis at the Allenby Crossing was a citizen of Jordan, blaming the assault on Jordanian incitement.
“Israel facilitates humanitarian aid to Gaza, and the terrorists exploit it to murder Israelis,” writes the Foreign Ministry following the attack, which was carried out by a man driving a truck of aid bound for Gaza as it traversed an Israel-controlled crossing from Jordan into the West Bank.
“A Jordanian who was supposed to drive a humanitarian aid truck to Gaza, murdered two Israelis at the Allenby border crossing,” the ministry writes on X, using uncharacteristically pugnacious language. “This is yet another result of the vile incitement in Jordan. This is the result of the echoing of Hamas’s campaign of lies.”
“This must stop,” adds the Foreign Ministry.
