Thanks For Nothing
Now that the Israelis are going above and beyond what they should be expected to do in the near term, it's nice to know that the Jordanians and Egyptians are willing to fulfill their treaty obligations:
Jordan and Egypt announced they were sending their ambassadors back to Israel, because, as the Jordanian foreign minister told reporters, "they will now have plenty of work to do on the political process."
Someone should let the Jordanian foreign minister know that it's not the job of an ambassador to interfere with the domestic affairs of their host countries. In fact, someone should let him know that ambassadors get fired for doing work on political processes. Only in the surreal world of international diplomacy, where slapping Israel around humiliatingly is how you demonstrate that you're part of the crowd, could this stunt even be suggested.
