Netanyahu to talk with King Abdullah to resolve crisis
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is to speak with Jordan’s King Abdullah II, in an effort to bring an end to the crisis over the embassy shooting.
An Israeli embassy security officer was stabbed and lightly wounded. He shot and killed the attacker and a bystander.
The call was set up by a senior security official who traveled to Amman to talk with Jordanian security officials, as a solution was sought.
Upon his return, it was revealed that the official was Shin Bet Chief Nadav Argaman.
The call with the king was delayed, as he is traveling in the US.
Channel 2 reported that Jordan will not let the security officer leave until Israel takes down the metal detectors put in place outside the Temple Mount
