passports are currently being held at the Israeli embassy in Amman,

According to Ghishan, these
passports were initially submitted to the embassy as part of visa applications
prior to October 7, 2023. However, these passports have been detained following
the embassy's closure, leaving their owners in limbo.
In response to this
situation, the Jordanian government has taken steps to address the issue by
offering alternative passports to affected Jordanian citizens. To qualify for
the alternative passport, individuals must provide evidence that their original
passport was submitted to the embassy for visa processing.
Despite this initiative, some
individuals are encountering challenges, particularly those who require their
original passport for travel purposes, especially if they hold valid visas for
the US or Schengen countries. Additionally, there is a growing frustration
among affected individuals who question the necessity of obtaining a new
passport and incurring additional fees when their existing passport remains
valid.
