Jordon Feels Betrayed But Is Scared To Express It

-


Jordon was never consulted before Trump turned the whole Middle Eastern Peace proposal in favour of Israel, forgetting the needs of Palestinians. The result the PM of Jordon Omar Razzaz says could be devastating to the relations between Israel and Jordon.
As usual Trump continues to undo whatever good had been done before his presidency. While Clinton had applauded a peaceful treaty between Jordon and Israel in 1994, the status quo has been disturbed by Trump’s skewed peaceful plan that has not been liked by anyone in Palestine.

It has been more than a decade that the world is trying to find a solution to the Israel- Palestine skirmish.  Through Trump’s intervention, Israel is now planning to annex a chunk of Palestinian lands, making the people very unhappy.

Trump’s plan has favoured Netanyahu only, so much so that the latter was prompted to take back his plea for immunity against charges of bribery and corruption. Trump's plan, political analysts believe, would shrink the amount of West Bank land left for a future Palestinian state by recognizing Israel's sovereignty over all Israeli settlements in the territory, as well as the Jordan Valley -- the eastern-most part of the West Bank. Apart from a short border with Egypt, the future Palestinian state would be completely encircled by Israel.

Strangely, the country which was known to have maintained stability in the region and was recognized by the United States, Israel and many others, was not contacted, included or consulted before the plan was presented by Trump to this middle eastern region.

More than half of all Jordan's citizens are Palestinian, with more than 2 million registered as refugees. The Kingdom's small size and lack of resources have made it dependent on international aid. Annual US aid to Jordan has nearly quadrupled over the last 15 years.

It feels betrayed, yet finds it difficult to voice its disgust or even feels scared to show anger, on the purposeful sidelining by the White House. In public, the PM says that “Jordan's relationship with the US is deep, historic and strategic. So, we are not worried that that strategic relationship will be affected by this.”

Callousness of authorities have been blamed by residents whose family members have gone missing while transiting illegally through Tunisia  Residents of Zarzis in southern Tunisia has extremely angry. They are blaming authorities for having buried drowned migrants from the coastal city without the informing families or finding out their whereabouts.
