As "Israel" fears the Egyptian scenario to be replayed, "Israeli" Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman ordered the early evacuation of "Israel's" embassy in Jordan on Wednesday.

Over fears of anti-"Israel" protests similar to those which erupted in Cairo last week, the "Israeli" protocol stipulates that all employees return to "Israel" every weekend, with the exclusion of one diplomatic representative as well as a security team.

"Israeli" "Haaretz" affirmed that the "Israeli" government had decided to vacate its Jordanian embassy a day earlier than schedule, following fears of what it called "violent protests outside the embassy building, expected to take place on Thursday and throughout the weekend."

A senior Foreign Ministry official told "Haaretz" that the planned protest was organized on Face book, clarifying that thousands have signed up to participate.

"Jordan has a responsible adult and they will not allow for riots similar to those which took place in Cairo," one "Israeli" Foreign Ministry official said, adding that "the embassy was closed a day ahead of schedule just to be sure."
