Jordan's al-Rad newspaper on Saturday morning reported that Israel had transferred $5 million to the Jordanian government as compensation for the deaths of Mohammed Jawada and Bashir Hamarna, who were shot by an Israeli security guard, as well as for the death of Jordanian "judge" Raed Zeiter. In July 2017, a Jordanian furniture worker attacked the deputy security officer serving in the Israeli embassy in Amman, Jordan. The attack, which occurred at the official's home adjacent to the embassy, took place while furniture was being moved into the residence. According to the report, one of the two Jordanian workers moving the furniture in sneaked up behind the deputy security officer and stabbed him with a screwdriver. Two Jordanian men - Jawarda and Hamarna - were killed in the incident, one of them the terrorist. Jordanian Raed Zeiter was shot in 2014 at the Allenby Border Crossing between Israel and Jordan. A confrontation started when he attempted to wrest a soldier's gun away from him, leading the soldier to defend himself and in doing so shoot Zeiter. Jordan claimed he was a judge in magistrate's court, while the Palestinian Authority said that he had lived in Samaria until 2011. According to today's report, the Jordanian families received the money, as well as the Israeli government's apologies. Reports also claimed that Israel promised to investigate the security guard who killed Jawada and Hamarna. However, it is estimated that the investigation will not end in indictment, since Shabak (Israel Security Agency) believes the guard acted in self-defense.

Could someone more familiar with the political details explain to me why Israel would do this?
I could understand it as a headline gesture if there’s a compensating back channel quid pro quo. But on its face, no, I don’t get it.
Diplo relations. Shooting armed terrorists on embassy grounds just because they stabbed you is undiplomatic.
Thanks Eleutheria5. Should be in gift cards to Israeli stores.
The shrimp fake king of the racist Hashemite regime should be quietly told that, any more such attacks on Israelis in Jordan will lead to the annihilation of his bloodline.
So now we expect the pal lies to pay for each Israely theykill.
All the blood in the perp’s body is payment enough.
Since they produce nothing but terrorism, that means the EU and Arab League will be writing the checks. Oh wait, they already do.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.
