Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas sent his condolences to the family of Sayid Amro, the Jordanian national killed by the Israeli Border Guard soldiers in a stabbing attack in Jerusalem last Friday. In his letter, Abbas called Amro “a martyr who has quenched the land of Palestine with his pure blood.”
After Jordan condemned Israel for what it dubbed “an act of barbarism,” Israel presented to the Jordanian foreign office a video showing Amro waving two knives and threatening passers by near Damascus Gate in Jerusalem’s Old City.
