Jordan, once known as an “oasis of calm” in the Middle East, is now facing uncertainty as tensions rise in the region. Benjamin Ashraf explores the current situation in Jordan, where the facade of normalcy is being challenged by the looming shadow of conflict.
Despite being surrounded by turmoil, Jordan has managed to maintain a sense of stability, acting as a mediator in regional conflicts. However, with the changing dynamics in the Middle East, Jordan’s position is being overshadowed by the material dominance of Gulf countries.
As Israel’s actions in Gaza and Lebanon escalate, Jordan finds itself caught in the crosshairs, facing security threats from all sides. The once tranquil streets of Amman now echo with the sounds of regional tensions, reminding its citizens of the fragile peace they have long known.
The future of Jordan remains uncertain as it navigates a changing geopolitical landscape. Will Jordan continue to balance on the edge of conflict, or will it be forced to confront the harsh realities of the region? Only time will tell.
