Israel-Jordan relations: geo-strategic analysis – Jerusalem Studio 661

Of the two neighboring Arab countries upholding their peace accords with Israel, Jordan is always of more concern to strategic planners in Tel Aviv and their Cabinet in Jerusalem. Egypt’s mainland is far away across the Sinai Desert, and its regime seems relatively safe. But the Hashemite Kingdom has to contend with a Palestinian majority, cells of Jihadi groups, a vocal opposition to the economic policies of King Abdullah II, and security problems in nearby southern Syria. Israel has excellent working relations between its military and intelligence agencies and their Jordanian ones, and it has done its share to alleviate the chronic water problem from which arid Jordan suffers, but there is constant fear west of the river that the Hashemite dynasty is just one bullet away from being toppled - leaving Israel vulnerable along its backbone. Can Israel bank on the East Bank to remain quiet?
