A former Jordanian culture minister wrote a controversial op-ed for a leading Amman newspaper on Sunday in which he argued there was no need for Arabs to oppose the potential move of the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to West Jerusalem.

Writing in his regular column “Unpopular Statements” for the government daily newspaper Al Rai, Tareq Al-Masarwa — according to a translation published by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) — wrote: “The Americans can move their embassy to the new [part of] Jerusalem [i.e. the western part] without sparking any serious rage among the Arabs.

The GHWB administration opposed Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem way, way back. Even then, the Saudi connection was making its inroads.

Now, the muzzies just want their “Palestinian State” .... already recognized by the Vatican and a few countries...

Tick, tick, tick....

The U N needs to be closed permanently.

If it po’s arabs do it.

[faithhopecharity]

Ok as far as it goes. (But who asked his “permission” anyway? It’s not up to him to tell USA where to put our embassies. Just something that needed saying is all )

[ErikJohnsky]

yea but for some reason, everyone is afraid of the Muzzies blowing up about it (both figuratively and literally)

Good thing, though I'm not sure a former minister expressing an unpopular opinion in his column Unpopular Opinion qualifies as an influencer.

Hmm.

Israel is for it, US is for this and Jordan needs WATER..oh and good neighbors since their army was slaughtered in the six day war. And they hate the fake "Pali" arabs. Lot of encouragement to be nice on this. They're also allied fighting all those Syrian/Iraqi factions.

The usual enemy of my enemy is my friend, for now. Link is so convoluted is has to be true?

re,Jordan,link to IndependentUK

Hope you all like the link destination so folks won't have to click on clickbait or "news" sites that are not news or fake? Can't verify the truth of article but appears Jordan doesn't even have ammo or planes.
