By Micah Halpern
Thursday February 23, 2006 I've Been Thinking: Israel and Jordan have had some words. Literally. In an off-the-record briefing Yair Naveh, the general in charge of Israel's Central Command, said that Jordan's stability was uncertain. Jordan was not happy. But given the issues in the region and the population of Jordan - a majority of whom are Palestinians, the comment by the Israeli general should not have come as a surprise. The reality is that now that Hamas is in power Palestinians across the Jordan River are looking carefully at the Hashemite (i.e. Jordanian) Kingdom. Some Jordanians are even thinking of ways to overthrow the King. Why take it out on Naveh? Because it is easier to shoot the messenger than to confront the problem head-on. I have faith in Jordan's king ... but the daggers are out. 4 June 2017 12:14 PM in Thoughts
