Jordanian citizens detained in Israel, Heba al-Labadi and Abdul Rahman Miri
AMMONNEWS - Israel released two Jordanian citizens from prison on Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office confirmed.
'Israel views the relationship between Jordan and Israel as a cornerstone of regional stability and will continue to act to ensure the region's security,' the office said in a statement.
Jordanian television confirmed that Hiba al-Labadi and Abdulrahman Miri were freed by Israel and arrived in capital Amman.
Earlier, Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi said that al-Labadi and Miri 'will be with their families in Jordan within hours'.
After the release, Amman is expected to send its ambassador Ghassan al-Majali back to Israel, who was recalled last week in protest of the continued detention of the two Jordanian citizens by Israeli authorities.
Israel had detained al-Labadi on Aug. 20 and Miri on Sept. 2 separately after crossing the King Hussein Bridge which links Jordan to Israel-occupied West Bank, without elaborating on the reasons of the arrest.
