Jordan said it has received assurance from Israel that the behaviour of a top cabinet minister, who spoke at a podium adorned with an Israeli flag that appeared to include Jordan, did not represent their position, an official source said on Tuesday.
The source told Reuters that top Israeli officials rejected Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's move during a speech on Monday, and said that they respected Jordan's borders and Israel's peace treaty with Jordan. Smotrich heads a religious-nationalist party in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's hard-right coalition.
