Jordan seen as a calm amidst chaos
Former Prime Minister Bishr al-Khasawneh stated that Jordan is facing an existential threat, but it is considered a "garden amidst a fire," and that he managed, during the Arab Spring period, to maintain a minimum level of security. He criticized the behavior of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, particularly during Morsi's rule, and accused the Jordanian Brotherhood of attempting to intimidate the authorities. On the other hand, he expressed confidence that Jordan's political situation is moving toward a partisan government led by the king, stressing that the government should remain in power for no less than two years. He referenced attempts by foreign countries to offer large sums for settlements, which King Abdullah II rejected. He also praised the economic reform efforts, noting that the International Monetary Fund commends Jordan's measures, and emphasized the importance of protecting Palestinian rights and related compensation issues.
