« BAD BOY TURNED BIG BOY: MUAMMAR GHADAFFI | Main | Iran & Jordan » Hamas and Jordan
By Micah Halpern
Wednesday May 17, 2006 I've Been Thinking: There is no love lost between Jordan and Hamas. Hamas was thrown out of Jordan and even today some of their highest level leaders are still not permitted entry. Most recently Jordan has accused Hamas of smuggling weapons into Jordan in order to then smuggle them across the border to attack Israel. So when Jordan's Foreign Minister, Adbul Ilah al Khatib, dressed down Hamas publicly, on network TV, it was to be expected - even though it is rare and always surprising to witness public disagreements among Arabs. Good move Jordan. Hamas will collapse only after Arab and Muslim countries start making serious demands on them. 4 June 2017 12:14 PM in Thoughts
