Fatal shooting casts long shadow over Israel-Jordan ties

FILE – In this July 25, 2017 file photo, placards are seen at the funeral of Mohammed al-Jawawdeh, a 16-year-old Jordanian, who was killed, along with a Jordanian man, by an Israeli security guard who said he was attacked by al-Jawawdeh with a screw driver, in Amman, Jordan. The fatal July shootings cast a long shadow over traditionally low-key but strategically important bilateral ties. A Jordanian official says the relationship has been “hit hard” on all levels and that Israel’s ambassador won’t be allowed back unless Israel launches a serious investigation into the shooting.
