Unlike Hamas and other extremist elements among the Palestinians, Jordan, which is in a very difficult economic situation, understands that it needs Israel.

Two Arab sources say that in Abdullah's summit meeting with the president of Egypt and the emir of the Crown Prince, he was criticized for exacerbating the conflict with Israel. Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas was not invited to the same summit, following Ben-Zayed's opposition and al - Sisi's lack of support.

The leaders of Egypt and the United Arab Emirates urged the King of Jordan to promote calm and dialogue with Israel, in a kind of condition for economic assistance from the Gulf.

The King of Jordan is in fact between a rock and a hard place: between the growing internal criticism of peace opponents with Israel, and the need to maintain good relations with the Gulf states, Egypt and Israel, which brings solutions to some of Jordan's most urgent needs.
