Israel has recently faced heightened security tensions following an armed operation at the Karameh border crossing, carried out by a Jordanian truck driver, which resulted in the deaths of three Israeli settlers. This incident is seen as a culmination of ongoing unrest in the West Bank and the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has refrained from directly criticizing Jordan, instead attributing the instability to Iranian influences seeking to undermine the Jordanian kingdom. Analysts note that the relationship between Israel and Jordan has deteriorated, impacting security cooperation at the border.
The operation has raised concerns regarding the stability of Jordan, with Israeli experts warning of potential threats from Iran and its allies, which could destabilize the region further. The decline in security coordination between the two nations is a significant factor contributing to these tensions.
