Mossad Head Cohen reported to be carrying out negotiations to return ambassador to Jordan

Mossad Head Yossi Cohen has been reported to be the one carrying out negotiations on Israel's behalf with Jordan, to return an Israeli ambassador to Amman. This following a deadly shooting in July, in which an Israeli security guard shot and killed a Jordanian teenager who stabbed him with a screwdriver in the Amman mission compound, as well as the Jordanian landlord, who was killed by stray bullets. The incident put a significant strain on Israeli-Jordanian relations.
A senior official confirmed that current Ambassador to Jordan Einat Schlein—who was photographed with the guard and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after the Israeli mission was hastily called back—will not be returning to Amman. "The Jordanians don't want her back, and this has been a big obstacle in patching things up."
It has been further speculated that Israel will express regret over the death of the landlord, and that it will pay his family compensation.
