Nearly 200 people had gathered ina peaceful protest in the vicinity of the embassy. Scores chanted “Death to Israel” and called for the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador and scrapping of the peace treaty with Israel.

A heavy Jordanian police presence had sealed off the area around the embassy so the protesters gathered nearby.

On Sunday an embassy guard shot dead Jordanian teenager Mohammad Jawawdah as well as the landlord of the house in the compound where the guard lived.

Jordan’s King Abdullah On Thursday demanded Israel put the guard on trial.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave the guard a hero’s embrace after Israel brought him home under diplomatic immunity.

King Abdullah called Netanyahu’s behavior as “provocative on all fronts and enrages us, destabilizes security and fuels extremism”.
