Israel condemns Jordanian Bar Association putting Israeli flag on entranceway floor to be trampled on

Israeli Foreign Ministry slams Jordanian lawyer's provocative act of placing national flag on floor for deliberate trampling

"An act of incitement that is inconsistent with the spirit of the peace agreement - Oren Marmorstein, Israeli Foreign Ministry Spokesperson"

Tel Aviv, February 12

Oren Marmorstein, Spokesperson of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, issued a statement "strongly" condemning the desecration of the Israeli flag by the Deputy Head of the Jordanian Bar Association, Walid Al-Adwan, at the entrance to the Bar Association, as documented this week and shared on social media.

Al-Adwan placed an Israeli flag on the entrance floor and declared that "anyone entering must step on it."

Marmorstein called this an "act of incitement that is inconsistent with the spirit of the peace agreement between the two countries."

Israel expects the Jordanian government to condemn the incident and take measures to prevent such actions from recurring.

"The lack of condemnation from the Jordanian authorities is concerning" Marmorstein added, calling this an expression of hatred that can "damage mutual trust and cooperation between the countries" and that it might even lead to acts of violence committed against Israeli citizens.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs conveyed an official protest to the Jordanian Embassy in Israel, emphasizing the need to ensure that such incidents do not happen again in the future. (ANI/TPS)
