Jordan Recalls Ambassador to Protest Israel's Detention of Two Jordanians
(Times of Israel) Adam Rasgon - Jordan has recalled its ambassador to Israel in protest of Israel's ongoing detention of two of its citizens, Ayman Safadi, the Jordanian foreign minister, announced Tuesday. Israel detained Heba al-Labadi, 32, and Abdul Rahman Miri, 29, at the Allenby border crossing on Aug. 20 and Sep. 2, respectively. The Israel Security Agency said that Labadi, who is of Palestinian descent, is being held "because of suspicion of her involvement in serious security violations." An Israeli military court on Tuesday refused an appeal to release Miri.
