The majority of the 150-member Lower House on Wednesday voted in favour of a motion to expel Israel’s ambassador to Jordan and recall the Kingdom’s ambassador to Israel.
The Lower House on Wednesday postponed a discussion over a vote of no-confidence petition to next week, giving the government almost a week to act and meet the MPs demands over measures against Israel after occupation soldiers shot and killed a Jordanian judge.
The government on Tuesday survived a no-confidence motion over what some deputies described as its failure to properly respond to the killing of Judge Raed Zuaiter, who was shot dead by Israeli soldiers last week.
