Israel said on Tuesday that it is reopening its embassy in Jordan after the two countries put a monthslong diplomatic spat behind them. The embassy was closed after a shooting last summer there in which an Israeli guard shot and killed two Jordanians after one attacked him with a screw driver. Israel's ambassador returned to Israel along with the guard involved in the shooting. The shooting strained ties between the neighboring countries which signed a peace agreement in 1994 and cooperate on security and energy issues, among others. Israel has since reportedly expressed regret for the incident and offered compensation.
