Jordan: A Small Country With Big Influence

[AbdKilani]

You wonder about it, what country could be having a big influence in this intense political times?

Jordan, yes. Why ?

Let me tell you why.

Jordan

Since it's independence, Jordan as a country has built a strong foreign relations with the most influential countries in the world and kept it going which secured it's place as one of the safest countries in the Middle East.

Jordan has maintained close relations with the United States and the United Kingdom. During the first Gulf War (1990), these relations were damaged by Jordan's neutrality and its maintenance of relations with Iraq (Which shows how strong of a stance that was in a really hot time for politics not to take sides),Jordan restored its relations with Western countries through its participation in the enforcement of UN sanctions against Iraq and in the Southwest Asia peace process.

King Abdullah 2nd & Barack Obama

Jordan is a key ally of the USA and UK and, together with Egypt, is one of only two Arab nations to have signed peace treaties with Israel, Jordan's direct neighbor. Jordan views an independent Palestinian state with the 1967 borders, as part of the two-state solution and of supreme national interest. The ruling Hashemite dynasty has had custodianship over holy sites in Jerusalem since 1924, which is an important role as it is hard situation in occupied Palestine with the conflict with Israel.

A Safe Country

Stay safe , come to Jordan

Jordan kept it's border safe, despite the fact that the borders of Jordan are conflict areas, Iraq, Syria, and we can say Lebanon too (which had many times of conflict and instability), you won't hear much in the news as you do about USA or any other country in EU, while Jordan have had a large amount of Syrian refugees, sure that is what means to be Jordanian, hospitality is a must.

Patronism.
Chill dude this is not a politic website, I lived in Jordan and it is nowhere close what you mentioned in your Take.

"While Jordan have had a large amount of Syrian refugees"
You gotta be kidding me no? They left them on borders to live in camps and those who are inside Jordan are treated poorly with racism and discrimination. Not saying Jordanians are bad people but the majority weren't welcoming to refugees in general.
It's safe? Not really. Can a female walk in downtown or whatever alone without being harassed and hit on thousands of times?
Why are Jordanian youth leaving Jordan if it's ideal country to live in? hmm

[AbdKilani]

LoL dude , i can share my take of these topics, and for real, i am Jordanian and i know about it more than you do ( i guess ) if you are not Jordanian , you are talking about refugees , let me tell you that i have been into the camp and seen it , they are having the best of what can a refugee can get (No offense i wish they get better things), and most of Jordanians aren't racist , but they are welcoming always.
"but the majority weren't welcoming to refugees in general. " because we are already a suffering country in financial status.
"It's safe? Not really. Can a female walk in downtown or whatever alone without being harassed and hit on thousands of times?" Any where in the world females get hit on, and if you come to down town in the middle of the night you can see a lot of women walking down the street without any issues.

[AbdKilani]

"Why are Jordanian youth leaving Jordan if it's ideal country to live in?" i have went abroad for three years, it is because we don't have enough jobs , why? we are sharing the working market with the refugees...
Thank you :)

Lmao I am Syrian dude! I lived there and seen it all.
I can't count how many times the taxi drivers complaining about Syrians and that we are taking their jobs and what not. It is ridiculous. Of course, if someone is more qualified and hard worker is getting the job.
I legit can count on my fingers the real Hashmia families who were friendly to me. That's why I said the majority were racist.
How comes a Royal country suffer from financial issues when all the donation are coming to Syrians and they are not even receiving it? Hmm..
I guarantee you it's safer than in Jordan for a woman to walk at night and come back home safe.
What's your take about every family are heavily armed? That's alone makes it not safe.

[Opinion Owner]

Sharing the market with refugees? You mean the refugees creating markets for Jordanians.
Look up: حلويات نفيسة

[AbdKilani]

man, maybe i am blind then
But please ask your friends about the how it is being refugee in other countries
Maybe it is because most Syrians i know here are friends and i don't see it like that, i don't know but that is what i see, and not to lie , but Arabs have a racist side, but they aren't that serious about it , they mostly joke about it.
If you have seen (Al sadmah الصدمة ) and saw the reaction when a Syrian got treated in a bad way you would understand more

[Opinion Owner]

Well thanks, but if you really want to know the other side of the story. Ask the Syrians, do not believe the media and what they are trying to sell you. Regarding the Middle East and Arabs, I don't think I'll ever come back there. Just for the mentality man.. it's just backward and negative..
I hope you also get the chance to live in a country that respects the human rights and you'll know the difference. I understand the nostalgia part and good memories but that's not everything when the reality of the present is dark.

[AbdKilani]

Man , i wish you the best <3
But , i am glad to live anywhere, sure i would be much better off to a foreign country , but i am glad to be back in Jordan and

Good luck habibi :)

[AbdKilani]

Welcome habibi <3
We will always stay a family as Jordanians and Syrians are related as Palestinians too

[Logorithim]

I'd agree that Jordan has had good leadership from its rulers, crucial given its location, and that leadership is the key to its geopolitical significance.

[AbdKilani]

Yes , indeed.

[zivvk]

[AbdKilani]

dunno about this fully, as a jordanian citizen this might come misinterpreted to me.

[AbdKilani]

Yay , great to have someone from Jordan here :)
Welcome
I don't know what you mean actually , can you elaborate

[jacquesvol]

Jordan occupies 80 % of the old Palestine.
But the Black September massacre sccared the Palestinians from pursuing.

[AbdKilani]

I guess so

[monkeynutts]

Very Important for the protection of Israel. Other countries would have to move their armies through Jordan if the were to fight Israel.

[AbdKilani]

True
