A senior security official has confirmed Jordan's announcement that two Jordanians under administrative detention will be returned to Jordan by the weekend.
The official said, "The two detainees will be released as a gesture by Israel to the Jordanian government and with a desire to strengthen relations between the two countries. The two are far from being righteous, but relations with Jordan at this time are far more important. It is estimated that the two will be investigated upon their deportation by Jordanian intelligence."
