Arabs criticized Jordan for allowing Yemen Jews to escape via Amman airport

Last week, in a secret mission, 17 Jews were smuggled out of Yemen and into Israel.

Arab media has shown a keen interest in this story - especially one detail, that the Jews arrived in a flight from Sanaa to Amman, Jordan and from there they went to Israel.

The idea that Jordan helped Jews who then met with Netanyahu did not sit well with some Arabs, but they know very well that the Houthi slogan includes the phrase "Damn the Jews."

So they instead questioned whether Jordan violated its own policies on dealing with people on flights from Yemen, Jordan has set restrictions on passengers from Yemen since the Houthis took over large parts of that territory.

Jordan responded that they only restrict Yemenis if their final destination is Jordan, not if they are ending up elsewhere.
