Jordan investigates delivery drivers en route to West Bank after Israeli security guards killed

‘Unrealistic’ that UN could play role in Gaza’s future but could monitor potential ceasefire, says GuterresJazi was, as they say in Jordan , “ Jordan ian, Jordan ian” not Jordan ian of Palestinian background. Jordan ’s tribes have been the backbone of the monarchy since the kingdom’s founding in 1921, and tribesmen serve in the armed forces.

The Hwaitat is a large, influential tribe which stretches into Egypt’s Sinai peninsula and Saudi Arabia. Tribespeople have been alienated by marginalisation, neglect and corruption, and in 2021 backed a failed challenge to King Abdullah by his popular half-brother Hamza.The Gaza war has spiked resentment and spurred mass demonstrations against Jordan’s never-popular 1994 peace treaty with Israel.

Jordan’s government has been irked by Israeli security minister Itamar Ben Gvir and religious zealots who have violated the status quo agreement that gives Jordan custodianship of East Jerusalem’s mosque compound, which Jews regard as the site of ancient Jewish temples. Jordan has been custodian of Muslim and Christian holy sites in the city for decades.

Jordanian foreign minister Ayman Safadi has called on the United Nations Security Council to take “immediate action to stop illegal measures”.The incident at the crossing took place in the politically charged run-up to Tuesday’s Jordanian parliamentary election. Tribal, centrist and pro-government candidates are expected to win most seats in the 138-seat assembly.
