Jordanian newspapers reported today their government was “shocked” to learn that its Washington Embassy was located in a hotel owned by Jews. The Amman government announced it had “ordered” the embassy to move.

(The Hotel Twenty-four Hundred, where the Jordanian Embassy has its headquarters, has long been known in Washington as a place where kosher food is available by pre-arrangement, and where the Mizrachi–Orthodox Jewish Zionists–often hold their conventions.)
