Likud MK: Jordan, Israel can fight ISIS together

The best way to fight ISIS, according to Druze MK Ayoub Kara (Likud), is for Israel to ally itself with other countries in the area that are trying to keep the Islamist terror movement at bay. And the best country in the region to ally with, said Kara, is Jordan.

This, despite the ongoing anti-Israel comments, resolutions, praise of terrorists and other actions taken by Jordanian government officials against Israelis in recent months.

“Strengthening ties with Jordan is the best answer to the ISIS threat,” said Kara on Tuesday at a conference discussing opening a new direct route in the southern Dead Sea region between the two countries. Among the ties Kara is interested in strengthening are economic ties.

Naive but nice thought.

there is already cooperation in air defense but neither country can afford to field substantial land forces... and the forward strike air battle is being handled now by Russia
so there would not appear to be a great deal left for Jordan (which has a refugee or invasion problem to deal with of its own) or Israel to do right now.

or so it seems from afar.
as for economic cooperation, Israel has already been trying to help and work with Jordan on that and is continuing.. it is mostly up to the Jordanians how fast they want economic development

I had to find out where Jordan is referenced in prophecy and being familiar with the Old Testament this study seems legit, although I have not yet read the references in chapter context as I usually do. Will do 2morrow.

King Abdullah of Jordan claims he told Russia ‘one bullet across border, all gloves are off’ after confrontation with Russian jets over south Syria

The Jordanian king said that when he talks about the south of Syria with the Russians, Jordan talks jointly with Israel and that he speaks “on behalf of Israel” .

Abdullah said that in all his discussions with Putin, the Islamic State (IS) group was a threat to all, and whatever problems terrorism posed in Europe, it was 10 times worse for Russia because of the number of Russian and former Soviet country nationals fighting in Syria.

Asked about Putin’s influence on Assad, Abdullah replied: ”If Putin asks Assad to jump, Assad will ask how high.” He noted that when Putin summoned Assad to Moscow, the Syrian leader went alone and without advisers.

Jordan’s king said he had built a strong relationship with Britain and was working together with their special forces because

Amman “had challenges about getting responses from the US”.

He said Jordan and Britain had formed “a systematic approach to dealing with Palmyra”. http://www.middleeasteye.net/news/jordanian-special-forces-poised-enter-syria-2033698172
