AMMONNEWS - Hundreds of activists protested Wednesday afternoon by Al Kaluti Mosque in Rabiyeh district nearby the Israeli Embassy in Amman voicing condemnation of the Israeli commandos attack on the 'Freedom Flotilla' humanitarian convoy at Dawn last Monday.
Eye witnesses told 'Ammon News' that heavy security presence surrounded the Israeli Embassy to prevent protestors from reaching the Embassy building.
Protesters raised banners condemning Israel's actions and called for recalling the Jordanian Ambassador in Tel Aviv and expelling the Israeli Ambassador in Amman in effort to call for cutting diplomatic ties between the two countries.
Protestors raised Jordanian, Turkish, and Palestinian flags along with banners of various political parties participating in the demonstration.
