Jordan Preparing For War With Israel

Background

By Stefan J. Bos, Chief International Correspondent Worthy News

AMMAN/JERUSALEM (Worthy News) – Jordan is reportedly preparing for war with Israel if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attempts to expel Palestinians into its territory.

The Middle East Eye (MEE) publication’s warning comes after U.S. President Donald J. Trump said he would like to see Jordan and Egypt take in Palestinians to “clean out” the Gaza Strip.

Officials in Amman and Jerusalem told MEE that “the last thing Jordan wants is war,” adding that the kingdom is “eager” for a peaceful solution.

But they warned that the Jordanians will close the border if refugees begin to cross into the country. “If the Israelis seek to re-open it, that would be a casus belli,” one source said.

The Jordanians are reportedly under no illusion they could win a war with Israel but believe they would have no choice but to fight.

Jordan previously sent extra battalions to its western borders, saying it would view any attempt “to force” Palestinians across the border as a gross breach of Jordan’s 1994 peace treaty with Israel.

One source told MEE that Trump’s proposal was an “existential issue” for Jordan and the Hashemite dynasty, adding that the country is “the third-poorest in terms of water” worldwide.

Its 12 million people live primarily in a strip of land along the Israeli border, close to the Jordan River.

Jordan would simply be unable to accommodate a significant inflow of refugees, authorities said.
