Jordan, Israeli ambassador will be expelled after racist words Smotrich

AMMAN - The Jordanian parliament has voted by majority to expel the Israeli ambassador in Amman following "racist" statements by the finance minister of the Israeli regime, the extremist Bezalel Smotrich, leader of the nationalist party 'Religious Zionism', who after having recently denied the existence of the Palestinian people (in a conference in Paris declared that "we cannot speak of Palestinians because there a 'Palestinian people"), used a map of "Israel" which includes Jordan and Palestine".

The vote of the Jordanian legislators took place during a session that saw harsh interventions by the deputies of Amman, in relation to the statements of the Zionist Smotrich, considering them a "clear and clear assault on Jordanian sovereignty, which requires a concrete response". Demands have focused on the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador from Amman.

On Monday, the Jordanian Foreign Ministry summoned the Israeli ambassador to Amman, after what he called "extremely racist and inciting" statements by the Israeli minister.
