Oren Marmorstein, Spokesperson of Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, issued a statement “strongly” condemning the desecration of the Israeli flag by the Deputy Head of the Jordanian Bar Association, Mr. Walid Al-Adwan, at the entrance to the Bar Association, as documented this week and shared on social media.

Al-Adwan painted an Israeli flag on the entrance floor and declared that “anyone entering must step on it.”

Marmorstein called this an “act of incitement that is inconsistent with the spirit of the peace agreement between the two countries.”
