Foreign Ministry 'shocked' by Jordan minister's call to release man who killed Israeli students

The Foreign Ministry slammed Monday Jordan's new justice minister for demanding the early release of a Jordanian soldier who killed seven Israeli school girls, saying Israel was "shocked and disgusted."

"The comments coming from the Jordanian justice minister about the killer from Naharayim were received with shock and disgust," a Foreign Ministry statement said.

In an unprecedented move, Jordan's new justice minister Hussein Mjali joined dozens of protesters demanding the early release of Ahmed Daqamseh who killed seven Israeli school girls in 1997.

The officials assured Nevo that the statement did not represent the Jordanian government.
Israeli Embassy spokeswoman Merav Horsandi said it is difficult for us to comprehend how there are people who support the release of a cold-blooded murderer of young children.

25 years is not enough anyway (life in Jordan) , and now they want to reduce that ???

Luckily it seems Jordan has no plans to act on this.

For one thing, "life" in quite a few countries is actually 20-30 years in practise.
