OK so it's only been a few hours:
That's King PS2 for you: never complains about Israeli policies, but gets indignant when an unsavory smell drifts over into his palace. It probably distracts him when he's playing Grand Theft Auto III.
Jordan king complains of Israeli odors
JERUSALEM - Jordanian King Abdullah II has complained of bovine odors coming from the Israeli side of the frontier along the countries' shared southern border, Israel's environment minister said Monday.
Speaking to Israel Radio, Gideon Ezra said the smells, from a livestock quarantine facility, were blown across the frontier toward the king's palace in the town of Aqaba, on the Red Sea next to the Israeli town of Eilat. Jordanian officials contacted Israel last week and requested the odors be neutralized, Ezra said.

That's right, good to see an Arab leader with his priorities straight. How could ones royal nostrils be assaulted by the stench of bovine excrement. One is outraged....outraged.
The one time the Israelis take seriously a request to stop the bullshit...
