Jordan is stopping a security guard who was attacked at the Israeli embassy in Amman from leaving the country until the incident is investigated.
The attacker was shot after stabbing the high-ranking Israeli official.
Following an emergency meeting at the Foreign Ministry in Jerusalem, Israel decided to evacuate its staff from the premises over fears the incident would lead to riots and further attempts to attack the embassy.
However, Jordanian officials will not allow the security guard to leave the country and have called for an investigation into the incident, which took place on Sunday.
