Israel’s Foreign Ministry has issued a strong protest with the Jordanian government after the Arab state’s Information Minister and Government Spokesperson Jumana Ghunaimat, was photographed stepping on an Israeli flag painted on the floor of Amman’s trade union headquarters last week.
Jordan’s trade union installed the Israeli flag on the floor at the entrance to its headquarters as a demonstration of protest to normalization of relations with Israel. The installation is accompanied by shoe marks treading over the Jewish state’s blue and white standard in an apparent invitation for building visitors to step on the flag.
The minister found herself as the target of anger by Israel’s Foreign Ministry after she was shown stepping on the flag on her way into the building for a meeting.
In response, Israel summoned the newly appointed Jordanian ambassador Ghassan Majali, to the Foreign Ministry. Official protests were also submitted by Israel to the government in Amman and the Jordanian embassy in Israel.
