Jordan king calls for Israeli embassy shooter to face trial

Jordan’s king calls on Netanyahu to ensure a security guard who killed two Jordanians at the Israeli embassy in Amman over the weekend faces trial.

Abdullah II urges Netanyahu to “take responsibility and take legal steps including the trial of the killer,” a royal court statement reported him as saying.

The guard was attacked and opened fire in self-defense, Israel said, killing his assailant and a second Jordanian.
