Protest Against Killing Of Jordanian judge By Israeli Soldiers
AMMONNEWS - Jordanian protesters gathered outside the Israeli Embassy in Amman, on Monday night following the killing of a Jordanian judge at the crossing border point earlier in the day.
Police arrested some of the angry youth tried to cross the security cordon around the embassy, and sent free shortly after the protest, a Security source told Ammon News reporter.
The judge, Raed Zueter, 38, was shot dead by Israeli soldiers at the border crossing after reportedly trying to seize the rifle of one of the soldiers.
The demonstration began to wind down at about 9 P.M. and the Israeli diplomats returned to their homes.
Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh summoned Israel’s charge d’affaires in Jordan and strongly condemned the incident, according to the Jordanian news agency Petra.
The government demanded that Israel immediately investigate the incident, Petra reported, and asked the Israeli diplomat to “immediately inform his government that the Jordanian government is expecting a quick and detailed report and expects that an in-depth investigation will be undertaken in which full details will be provided to the government of Jordan.”
The Jordanian Lawyers association also published a statement sharply condemning the incident and demanding that it be fully investigated.
Raed Zueter was born in Nablus and transferred to Jordan about three years ago, where he worked as a magistrate’s court judge in north Amman.
