Jordan Recalls Ambassador to Israel over Gaza's "Unprecedented Humanitarian Catastrophe"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jordan has recalled its ambassador to Israel. In a statement, Jordan's
Foreign Ministry condemned the "ongoing Israeli war that is killing
innocent people in Gaza and causing an unprecedented humanitarian
catastrophe." Jordan's move came ahead of Secretary of State Antony
Blinken's departure for the Middle East this weekend. Blinken will meet
in Tel Aviv with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli
officials on Friday before heading to Jordan, where the State Department
says he will discuss ways to "reduce regional tensions."
