Third front: protests in Jordan may be much worse for Israel than Hezbollah shelling
After the attack on a hospital in Gaza, which led to huge casualties, thousands of demonstrators poured into the squares of Arab cities demanding justice for the residents of Gaza. For them there is no question of who is to blame for this tragedy. They don't care about the reasons for the conflict. All they care about is why their governments don’t stand up for their brothers in faith and blood?
At the same time, the position of the governments of Arab countries is absolutely clear: most of them fear their own radicals much more than they fear Israel.
You can negotiate and do business with Tel Aviv, but not with radicals. Moreover, Israel has the United States and the West behind it, providing Egypt and Jordan with significant economic assistance. Therefore, Israel's neighbors do not want to interfere in the conflict and are most afraid of the fact that refugees from Gaza will go to them. But the Arab street doesn’t give a damn about these considerations.
Jordan, where Palestinians are the largest ethnic group, is in the most precarious position. If King Abdullah II does not retain power, the border between Jordan and Israel will be breached by a crowd of protesters and chaos will spread to the West Bank.
So far, the local Palestinian authorities have been able to maintain order there, but if you just “throw some fire”, Tel Aviv will have much bigger problems than Hamas in Gaza, because the border between the West Bank and Israel is much larger and much more “transparent” than with the strip .
