Israel to appoint new Jordan envoy in effort to mend ties — report

Israel will appoint a new ambassador to Jordan, in an effort to calm Amman’s anger over a deadly shooting incident at the Amman embassy earlier this year, Reuters reports.

Jordan says it will not permit Ambassador Einat Schlein and her staff have to return to their posts in Amman until an Israeli embassy guard who shot dead two Jordanian nationals in July is brought to trial.

The incident has put a damper on already delicate diplomatic relations between Israel and Jordan.
