Jordan.

Speaking at the
Middle East Institute for Media and Political Studies in Amman, Abadi said that
a clash between Jordan and the extremist Israeli government is inevitable, and
warned that the Israeli right-wing policy is clear and presents a threat to
Jordan.
Its program
seeks to establish “Greater Israel” and the subjugation of the East Bank of
Jordan, and extends even beyond the Kingdom, into the Arabian Peninsula, he
said.
According to
Abadi, the focal point of the inevitable clash with the incoming Israeli
government is to displace the Palestinians and empty the occupied West Bank of
its people. This, he said, will force the Jordanian decision makers to adopt
the only option available, which is confrontation, both political and military.
Abadi called for
preparing current and future Jordanian generations for this historical
inevitability, because displacement will happen, and because the Jordanian
state has no option but to defend its interests, stressing the need for
Jordanians to understand the reality of the conflict.
Abadi said that
there is urgent need to fortify the home front, and initiate a national
dialogue with a view to adopting serious, and radical political and economic
reforms.
He also warned
against directing accusations at the Palestinian component in Jordan, “because
the Palestinians will not sell their land and will not leave Palestine”.
He suggested
resuming talks with resistance factions, diversifying political and diplomatic
options, and joining parties that are opposed to the Israeli far right.
Abadi also called for
reimposing compulsory military service, arming and training the entire Jordanian
people, including women, in preparation for the inevitable confrontation.
