Researcher Warns West Bank Annexation Threatens Jordan
The article highlights Jordan's increasing concerns over the potential Israeli annexation of parts of the West Bank, a threat that Jordan considers a existential risk. The possible annexation is expected to lead to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians into Jordan, placing significant strain on the country's demographic composition, economy, and political sovereignty. Despite the support from the United States and close security ties, Israel's acknowledgment of land annexation could threaten Jordan's stability, potentially prompting diplomatic actions and widespread protests, with the possibility of severing relations and closing border crossings. Jordan views the Israeli threat as surpassing other risks such as the Iranian war or border crises, and prefers that Washington take a clear stance to prevent the implementation of the annexation plan.
