Yesterday, Jordanian riot police fired tear gas to push back hundreds of demonstrators marching on the Israeli embassy in Amman in protest of the war in Gaza.

The Israeli embassy, where protesters gather daily, has long been a flashpoint of anti-Israel protests at times of turmoil in Gaza and the West Bank. Israeli ambassador Amir Weissbrod has been in Israel since leaving for security reasons in the wake of the October 7 massacre.
