Trying to satisfy the globalist arab spring. If he switches to their side will they let him stay ? I dunno, that would be highly irregular. They want their own guys as leaders in the countries they assimilate, educated at Central European University, etc.

Jordan was the “Palestinian State” for those arabs who didn’t want to live in the newly created state of Israel.

The king would be wise to take with him a large phalanx of Bedouin more willing to kill Paleos than fleas. He is about as popular among radical Muslims as is Assad.
