Israel issues condemnation after top Jordanian lawyer seen trampling its flag

Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter

Israel issues a strong condemnation of the trampling of an Israeli flag by Walid Al-Adwan, deputy head of the Jordanian Bar Association.

It also lodges a formal protest with Jordan’s embassy in Israel.

The incident, which took place earlier this week at the entrance to Jordan’s Bar Association, was filmed and made the rounds on social media.

The Foreign Ministry calls the incident “an act of incitement that is inconsistent with the spirit of the peace agreement between the countries.”

Israel, says the Foreign Ministry, expects Jordan’s government to issue a condemnation and prevent such incidents in the future.
