The Palestinian-Jordanian-Israeli Triangle
The Palestinian-Jordanian-Israeli Triangle
by Oded Eran, INSS
On one level,
Jordan and Israel are developing a relationship based on
shared economic interests and the need to cope with
political and security constraints resulting from the
turmoil in the region over the past three and a half years.
At the same time, because of developments anticipated in the
wake of the freeze of Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, the
internal Palestinian political process, the continued
struggle in Syria, and the possible implications of a crisis
with regional dimensions in the context of the Iranian
nuclear program, the political leaderships in Jordan and
Israel are likely to face difficult challenges and will need
to demonstrate great restraint in their conduct.
Israel’s effort to preserve its relationship with Jordan’s political-military leadership is highly important. As such, Israeli reactions to various actions and comments by Jordanian officials, even if they are justified, should be grounded in a comprehensive strategic view of Israel’s regional interests.
