New Report Says Israel’s Decades-Long Peace With Jordan Is Unraveling

King Abdullah II of Jordan  

Washington Free Beacon: Peace Between Jordan and Israel Unraveling, Report Says 

Israel’s decades-long peace with Jordan is unraveling, a development that threatens to upset a fragile regional stability that is being challenged by countries like Iran, Russia, and China, a think tank report warns.

"Since 2020, if not before then, the Jordanian peace has turned decidedly cold," according to Jonathan Schanzer, a former terrorism finance analyst at the Treasury Department who now works at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. While the relationship has been breaking down behind the scenes for some time, Jordan also began to publicly war with Israel in recent years, by refusing to sign the Abraham Accords peace agreements, attacking incoming prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and threatening to fully abrogate the peace deal it signed with Israel in 1994.

Who is this "Foundation for the Defense of Democracy"? Listen to part of their report: "In anticipation of intensifying great power competition with China, and perhaps to a lesser extent Russia, it is crucial for Washington
to project unity among allies in the Middle East. No less important for the Middle East is the prospect of stability, prosperity, and positive change, which will require Jordan as a willing partner. This is especially the case amidst the
continued havoc that the Islamic Republic of Iran is exporting across the region."

In other words, according to the "Foundation for the Defense of Democracy", it is the United State's responsibility to have peace in the Middle East. This is not so. Peace in the Middle East is the responsibility of the nations in the Middle East.

+1 for asking who "The Foundation for Defense of Democracy" Is
-101 For being insincere about it
-10 for not providing a link to Wikipedia, Encyclopedia Britannica or anywhere else about what the Foundation is.

Jordan like Pakistan plays a double game.

For example, Jordan’s king’s very own intelligence service has been caught red-handed selling to ISIS American weapons, meant for the secular Syrian opposition.

Jordan is just waiting for its set. The King and his family are bus with the Muslim Brotherhood and have been for decades.

Israel has a card to play that means perhaps more danger in the future, but would guarantee that King Abdullah and his line are ousted from power forever.

You have to get thru today before you can worry about more or less danger tomorrow.
