Jordan’s fear of the idea of ​​an “alternative homeland” for the Palestinians

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, current developments in Gaza and The attack on Rafah has been more worrying for Jordan than for the rest of the actors in the Arab world; Because this country is shocked by the inability of the United States to stop the Zionist regime from entering Rafah, as well as the silence of Egypt and Saudi Arabia, which are considered important Arab powers on paper. Jordan considers these developments to be the prelude to a bigger scenario that is considered a direct threat to its national security.

Jordan has always been one of the important players in the Palestinian conflict due to its geographical proximity; But in recent years, he has tried to take steps in this case within the framework of inter-Arab cooperation. This pattern of behavior was more visible during the period of Trump, who was trying to conclude the deal of the century, and despite the existential threats of this plan, the Jordanians were trying not to confront Washington, and from the path of alliance with the Egyptians, seeking non-fulfillment and implementation.

But this time, even Cairo is watching the Zionist attack on Rafah and controlling the Palestinian border crossing regardless of the violation of the Camp David Agreement. For this reason, the recent sharp statements of Ayman al-Safadi, the Jordanian foreign minister, who addressed the prime minister of the Zionist regime with literature outside of diplomatic norms, can be considered as a sign of Aman’s growing concern about the current course of developments in the Gaza crisis case.

Jordan’s concern is based on the hypothesis that Israel’s attack on Rafah is merely an attempt to control the Zionist regime over the Palestinian border crossing with Egypt and speed up the construction of a port in the west of Gaza, or the Netanyahu government’s claim for freedom. The Zionist hostages are not held by the Palestinian resistance, but Netanyahu intends to implement a bigger plan.

According to this war plan, until the return of the triangle of Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo and Jared Kushner, respectively The President, the former Secretary of State and Trump’s son-in-law continues and then in the form of the deal of the century, control over Gaza is stabilized and even through the port built by the Americans in the west of Gaza, which is the pretext of sending food aid, Palestinians to immigration destinations.

The worrisome issue for Jordan is that this plan will mean the decision of the Palestinians living in Jordan and the government of Amman should treat the Palestinians as to recognize the Jordanian citizen. In this scenario, in the shadow of Netanyahu’s control over Gaza and Trump, Pompeo and Kushner regaining power in the White House, Jordan becomes the “alternative homeland” of Palestine.

Dangers of this scenario for the Kingdom Abdullah II is the king of this country, because Jordanians have a negative view of Palestinians becoming citizens in their country, because if this plan is implemented, Jordan’s internal demography will clearly undergo demographic changes in favor of Palestinians. This already led to the civil war in Jordan in 1970, which is known as “Black September” in the history of the Middle East, during which thousands of Jordanians and Palestinians were killed during this war.

The residents of the East Bank of the Jordan River, who consider themselves authentic Jordanians, emphasize that by granting citizenship to the Palestinians who came from the West Bank of the Jordan River, the power will be removed from their hands and the country of Jordan In the future, it will become Palestine.

This is the argument that radical Zionists constantly repeat that “Jordan is Palestine”. This statement means that the Palestinians should leave their historical land, go to the east of the Jordan River and form their country there, and as a result, the west of the river will be the land of the Jews and Israel.

In the meantime, the saving element for the Zionists’ plans not to happen is the Palestinian resistance in the West Bank and Gaza to prevent the Zionists’ military consolidation. Of course, if the Zionists do not succeed in establishing themselves in Gaza and the war ends at the expense of the regime, then this process will go in the opposite direction and successive crises of the Zionist regime will await the Zionists.
