Israel aims to end royal stink on border

Mon Jan 1, 3:48 PM ET

JERUSALEM -
Israel says it's doing what it can to eliminate a royal stink that's developed along its border with Jordan.


That's after Jordanian King Abdullah II complained of a less than princely odor wafting from the Israeli side of the countries' shared southern border, Israel's environment minister said Monday.

Gideon Ezra told Israel Radio that Jordanian officials last week asked that the stench from a livestock quarantine facility in Eilat be neutralized after it drifted across the border frontier toward Abdullah's palace in Aqaba.

Upon receiving the complaint, Ezra said, Israeli officials immediately spread deodorants around the site to clear the air and planned a thorough cleanup shortly............
