Israel and Jordan don’t have a cold peace, they have a jittery peace. The fragility of one of Israel’s most important regional allies – with whom security ties are often described as a cornerstone of regional stability – was underscored by a series of apparent tit-for-tat diplomatic price-tag attacks over the last 24 hours.

On Wednesday, Israel prevented Hashemite Crown Prince Hussein bin Abdullah from visiting the Temple Mount. Jordan in retaliation refused on Thursday to authorize Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flight path to the United Arab Emirates, causing the trip's cancelation. It's the latest diplomatic skirmish in a 26-year relationship fraught with crises brought on by religion, geo-politics and violence. Netanyahu might have glossed over the incident, pointing out that the flight path was later approved, but it's harder to brush away the persistent simmering tensions. Here is a look at 10 Israeli-Jordanian crisis points, many of which center around the Temple Mount, as the present crisis does.

Ok, then a question:

“How long does the Jerusalem Post think it will be, until Biden* puts U.S. Matrines in position, to be killed like their brethren in Beirut were?”

I am sure the King of Jordan is also Jittery about any strategic agreements Israel makes with any Arab states that do not share borders with Israel. I think that is seen in Jordan as weakening it’s position as a “front line” state with Israel in shaping Arab policies toward Israel. The larger the circle of Arab ties with Israel, the smaller the deciding role becomes for Jordan.

The only thing keeping the pipsqueak on the Hashemite throne and out of an early grave is that the border to the east of Israel isn’t PLO or Hizbollah controlled.
