Jordan on Monday summoned the Israeli ambassador to protest over the behaviour of an Israel minister who spoke at a podium that had an Israeli flag with expanded borders that incorporated the kingdom and the Palestinian territories.

Earlier Amman condemned the ultra-nationalist Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's move saying it was a provocative move by an “extremist” and “racist” minister that violated international norms and Jordan's peace treaty with Israel.
