Jordan has recalled its ambassador to Israel in protest of Jerusalem’s conduct in the war against Hamas, the foreign ministry in Amman announces.

Jordan Foreign Minister Arman Safadi also notifies the Israeli Foreign Ministry that it should not send back the Israeli ambassador to Amman, who left due to security precautions at the beginning of the war.

Safadi says this is to remain in effect until the war and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza ends.
