AMMAN — MP Khamis Atiyeh on Monday urged the Foreign Ministry to intervene to secure the release of Jordanian engineer Thaer Hwaiti, currently detained by Israeli authorities, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
Atiyeh also sent a memo to Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Nasser Judeh, urging him to check on Hwaiti’s health and the conditions of his detention. Israeli authorities last week detained the 24-year-old while on his way to visit relatives, according to the Jordan Engineers Association.
