As Israel fears demonstration near its embassy in Jordan, the Zionist entity withdraws its ambassador from Amman. According to Israeli media, Danny Navon and his staff have left Jordan for the occupied territories, AFP news agency reported on Thursday. No other details have been published about the reported event. Echoing the anti-Israel protests that took place last week in Cairo, activists in Jordan have called for a “million-man march” against the Israeli mission in Amman on Thursday. The demonstration is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. local time (1530 GMT) near the embassy. Last Friday Egyptian protesters stormed the Israeli embassy in the capital, destroying parts of a barricade wall around the building in the process. The Israeli ambassador to Egypt, Yitzhak Levanon, fled the capital a few hours after the incident. Three people were killed and many others injured in overnight clashes with the police outside the Israeli embassy in Cairo. According to the Israeli daily Jerusalem Post, the mass rally in Jordan has been posted on the social networking website Facebook under the banner “No Zionist embassy on Jordanian territory.” Jordanian protesters gathered outside the US Embassy in Amman on Wednesday, burning Israeli and American flags and demanding an end to relations with Tel Aviv and Washington.
