Jordanians have been protesting Israeli violations in Jerusalem and the Israeli Embassy Incident after Friday prayers for three weeks now.

Jordanians took to the street across the Kingdom for the second weekend in a row after Friday prayer today and called for the closure of the Israeli Embassy in Amman as well as the cancellation of the gas agreement Jordan signed with Israel.

The protesters also called for the cancellation of the Jordanian-Israeli peace treaty following the death of two Jordanians at the Israeli Embassy two weeks ago.

Two Jordanians were killed two weeks ago at the Israeli Embassy by an Israeli security guard after one of the killed Jordanians allegedly stabbed the guard following an altercation.

The entire staff of the Embassy has since left Jordan and gone to Israel.
