Jordan says no return of Israeli envoy until guard from July incident investigated

A Jordanian official says Israel’s ambassador will not be allowed to return to Amman until legal action is taken against Ziv Moyal, the security guard who shot and killed two Jordanian citizens in July after he was stabbed by one of them, Channel 10 reports.

The Jordanian statement contradicts reports earlier today according to which Jordan would allow the Israeli ambassador to return to Amman if Israel switched out the current ambassador Einat Schlein for another diplomat. The Jordanian official denies the report.
