The Israeli occupation Ministry of Foreign Affairs commented on Jordan's decision to recall the Jordanian ambassador from Tel Aviv, and told the Israeli ambassador in Amman to stay away in protest at the Israeli bombardment of Gaza.

"Israel regrets the Jordanian government's decision to recall its ambassador for consultations," Israel's Foreign Ministry spokesman Lior Haiat said in a post on X.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, Ayman Safadi, announced on Wednesday the immediate recall of the Jordanian ambassador to Israel.

This decision stands as a firm representation of Jordan's condemnation and rejection of the raging Israeli war on Gaza, which has led to the killing of innocent civilians and an unprecedented severe humanitarian crisis.

Moreover, Safadi directed the relevant department within the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates to notify the Israeli foreign ministry that its ambassador, who had previously departed from Jordan, should not return for the time being.

The return of ambassadors, Safadi stressed, hinges upon Israel ceasing its war in Gaza, halting the resulting humanitarian disaster, and refraining from actions that deny Palestinians their basic rights, including access to food, water, and medicine, as well as a secure and stable life on their national soil.
