Earlier today, the Israeli Broadcasting Authorities reported
that the authorities have returned the body of Maher Al-Jazi Al-Hwaitat, the conductor of King Hussein Bridge operation, to Jordan. Israeli Jerusalem Post reported that the decision to return the body to Jordan came after significant pressure from the Jordanians and was aimed at "preserving the quality of security relations" between the two sides.
In recent days, the capital Amman and other cities in Jordan witnessed large demonstrations demanding the return of Al-Jazi's body, which had been held by the occupying authorities following his martyrdom. Al Jazi, a retired Jordanian soldier working as truck driver, shot at Israeli border security while he was crossing the border which called Al Lanby, resulting in the deaths of three Israelis before his martyrdom.
