Strategic Assessment
Research Forum | July 2014
This article evaluates the stability of the regime in Jordan and its ability to cope successfully with the challenges it faces. Unique circumstances have enabled the Kingdom of Jordan to fare better than its Arab neighbors in dealing with the challenges of the upheaval underway in the Arab world since late 2010. At the same time, the regime’s economic vulnerability threatens to undermine this success. Because stability in Jordan is a strategic asset for Israel, Israel should take action in several areas, especially in the economic sphere, to help strengthen the regime and bolster its survivability.
