Security guard tells Netanyahu he’s ‘happy’ to be back in Israel after Jordan embassy incident
AMMONNEWS - The security guard who killed his Jordanian assailant and a bystander after being stabbed in the chest said “a weight has been lifted from my heart” after returning to Israel.
The guard, identified as Ziv, met Tuesday morning with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israeli Ambassador to Jordan Einat Shlain.
“Thank you from my heart. I am happy to be here. Einat and I felt that people were standing behind us and were making every effort, we felt this and I am glad that we are here,” he told Netanyahu.
The employees of Israel’s diplomatic mission in Amman, Jordan, returned to Israel late Monday night through the Allenby Bridge border crossing.
In the attack Sunday, the assailant entered a residential building occupied by the embassy to install furniture and stabbed the Israeli guard with a screwdriver. The guard shot and killed his attacker, a 17-year-old Jordanian. The building’s owner, who was standing nearby, was killed after being hit by a stray bullet.
