    Abbas lacks important Arab support against Trump's recognition of Jerusalem

    It must be said that , while most Arab and Muslim rulers have gone through the motions of condemning Trump's pro-Israeli act, few are actively opposing it, which the Palestinian street has not been slow to notice. Their zeal for a violent confrontation with Israeli security forces is therefore less than expected especially after their leader Abu Mazen had to fall back on the Jordanian king and Turkish president for support, instead of finding a rousing condemnation from the entire Arab leadership.
    It is no secret in Ramallah or Nablus that King Abdullah of Jordan has fallen out of favor with the majority of Arab rulers, especially the Saudi crown prince and strongman, the UAE emir and the Egyptian president. DEBKAfile's Middle East sources reveal that Riyadh has gone so far as to cut off financial assistance to Amman.

      Their zeal for a violent confrontation with Israeli security forces ..
      I am willing to bet that the people generating this *zeal* are not going to be facing down the Israei Security Force. They probably are not even in the area.

      Issachar
      The church is on Earth to save souls from a lost world, not to save the world from lost souls.

      Man learns about history, not from history. To learn from history requires wisdom. Cut off from God, he has none, so history repeats; no new thing under the sun.

        Is Jordan paying the price for Jerusalem criticism?
        Arab states have put pressure on
        Jordan
        to accept the United States\ recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and a heavily stripped down version of the Palestinian state, Jordanian politicians and analysts say.

        Bin Salman and the United Arab Emirates are trying to strangle Jordan's economy until it agrees to their terms, submit to their leadership in the region, and agree to Trump's so called 'ultimate deal'," Bani Mustafa said, referring to the US president's as yet unexplained
        new plan
        to bring about peace between the Israelis and Palestinians.
