Israel won't prosecute embassy guard over Jordan shootings - sources

Israel will not prosecute a guard from its embassy in Amman who killed two Jordanians in July, as had long been demanded by the kingdom, two Israeli sources said on Sunday.

 

Instead, the Foreign Ministry and Shin Bet security agency will review protocols surrounding the actions taken by the guard, and his conduct, "and share the results with the Jordanians", a diplomatic source said.

 

The killings led to a rift between the countries, which both said last week had been mended.

 

Jordan said Israel had apologised for the embassy deaths, would compensate the victims' next of kin and "implement and follow up legal measures" in the case.
