Israel named a new ambassador to Jordan today, the foreign ministry announced, bringing to an end a months-long spat sparked by a deadly shooting.
The foreign ministry named Amir Weissbrod as the new ambassador, the first since July when a security guard at the Israeli embassy in Amman shot dead two Jordanians after an alleged attack.
Jordan and Egypt are the only two Arab nations with peace treaties with Israel.
