Israel’s longest border is also its quietest. But how stable is that quiet really?
In this episode of EYLON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Aaron Magid, author of The Most American King: Abdullah of Jordan, about Israel’s cold peace with Jordan, the fragility beneath the 1994 peace treaty, and why instability in the Hashemite Kingdom would have serious consequences for Israel, the region, and the West.
In this episode, we discuss:
• Why Jordan remains one of Israel’s most important security partners despite hostile public opinion
• How King Abdullah has kept the peace treaty intact under pressure from the Jordanian street
• The role of American aid, Israeli water and gas, and Jordanian security cooperation
• Why the Muslim Brotherhood, Iran, and Palestinian politics make Jordan a critical strategic front
