After the word of the Speaker of the Representatives House , Zu’bi said that what happened in the building of the Israeli embassy is a “crime”. He added that the Jordanian young man was the one who beat the Israeli employee with the “screwdriver”, which caused the employee to shoot the occupants.
He stressed that the government will provide the Council with the results of the investigations as soon as they are completed.
