Jordan, one of the US’s closest allies, has been affected by the Gaza war since it began and has had to deal with people who openly back the terrorist group Hamas.
It is no secret that Jordan’s government is against Israel’s war to get rid of Hamas attackers. Someone in their government, Ayman Safadi, said a long time ago, “Hamas is an idea, and ideas don’t die.” Qatar’s Queen Rania said they don’t think Hamas “really committed atrocities” in their October attack.
Jacob Rosen, who used to be the ambassador between Jordan and Israel, said, “Jordan is walking on a very tight rope.” “The government lets the Muslim Brotherhood spread their message under any cover they choose, but they break up any protests that might go “bad” or turn against the government.”
“At the same time, Ayman Safadi, the minister of foreign affairs, can say whatever he wants about Israel. He accuses Israel of genocide and warns against ethnic cleansing.” But no matter what, Jordan can’t directly criticize Hamas. Instead, Rosen said, “let some publicists or ex-ministers do that.”
As protesters shouted “We are your men, Sinwar,” they made it clear that they were behind the attacks on October 7. Yehya Sinwar is the “mastermind” behind the attacks.
Many people have said that they are in the streets chanting things that are bad for Jordan and are basically taking control of the country. People have tried to attack it because the country is unstable; Jordan doesn’t have an oil or gas business and has a high unemployment rate right now.
