Israel responds carefully to Jordan recalling its ambassador, saying only that it “regrets” the decision in a tweet from Foreign Ministry spokesman Lior Haiat.
He stresses that Israel is targeting Hamas fighters and infrastructure after the terror group killed 1,400 and kidnapped 240 more, and that Hamas uses Palestinian civilians as human shields.
Earlier today, Israel had biting words for Chile and Colombia for carrying out similar moves.
