Israeli Trade Minister Natan Sharansky visited the Jordanian capital of Amman to discuss bilateral trade issues with his Jordanian counterparts. The visit, widely seen as reflecting improved Israeli-Jordanian ties, came one day after Israeli minister Ariel Sharon visited Amman and one day before Jordan’s Crown Prince Hassan was slated to visit Israel. Ties between the two countries were severely strained by a failed Mossad attempt to assassinate a Hamas leader last September in Amman.
