Jordan weighs response to Israeli West Bank escalation
Original: How can Jordan respond to Israel’s escalation across the West Bank? https://www. aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/10 /2/how-c
An Al Jazeera opinion piece argues that Israel's escalation in the occupied West Bank — settlement expansion, displacement of Palestinians and growing Israeli control — poses a direct challenge to Jordan, the Arab state with custodianship of the Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem and a long border with the territory. The article asks what options Amman realistically has as regional pressure mounts.
Why now: Rising Israeli settlement and military activity in the West Bank is forcing Jordan to consider its diplomatic and security options.
