The family of Jordanian Abdul Mutallib Al-Qaisi announced on Thursday morning that they had received his remains, nearly three months after his detention by Israeli authorities. Al-Qaisi had been accused of involvement in a shooting incident at the King Hussein Bridge - referred to as “Allenby” by Israelis and “Al-Karama” by Palestinians - which connects Jordan and the West Bank.

Abdul Mutallib's uncle, Nasser Al-Qaisi, told CNN Arabic that the Jordanian authorities informed them of the arrival of the remains early Thursday morning. The family later received and buried him, announcing a memorial in the capital, Amman.

He added, “The family is now at peace; his sons bid him farewell, and we prayed over him, even as the wound on his head was still bleeding. May God accept him among the martyrs. He awaited this moment for three months and ten days.”

Al-Qaisi, born in 1968, had spent nearly three months working as a truck driver transporting aid from Jordan to the Gaza Strip before an attack on September 18 left two Israelis dead.

Since then, Israel had suspended the entry of aid from Jordan until further notice. On December 10, the World Food Program sent a convoy of 20 trucks to the Gaza Strip, according to official Jordanian sources, following Israel’s announcement that the “Allenby” crossing would reopen for cargo and humanitarian aid from Jordan.

The Jordanian government has not officially announced any further aid shipments to the Gaza Strip, while informed Jordanian sources told the site that the new procedures imposed by Israel for aid entry are “complicated.”
