MK Eldad: Abdullah Needs to Watch Out for His Seat -- and Head

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal Tuesday, Jordan's King Abdullah II had some harsh things to say about the way Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was managing Israel's foreign policy. But perhaps, says MK Aryeh Eldad (National Union), Abdullah would be better off minding his own business -- and worrying about his own problems.

"Abdullah is apparently the only Arab in the Middle East who doesn't know that Jordan is next in line for the 'Arab Spring' treatment, as occurred in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Syria," MK Eldad said Tuesday afternoon.

"Instead of advising Israel, it would behoove him to realize that Jordan is the Palestinian state," and to prepare for the uprising of the "Arab street" accordingly...

But instead of worrying about Israel, said MK Eldad, Abdullah should be worrying about his own position. Protests have been growing in Jordan in recent months, he said, and it is just a matter of time before the scenarios that faced Hosni Mubarak and Bashar al-Assad come to Jordan.

"If I were him," added Eldad, "I would begin loading up my private plane with all the gold I could get my hands on and escape while I still could."

Jordan’s uprising has simmered down, but once war starts, it’ll be back with a vengeance.

Isn’t Queen Noor of Jordan a born and raised Los Angeles girl? Maybe it’s about time for her to pay a visit to the “old country?”

Upon the death of King Hussein, she and her kids were cut out of the loop by the fact of her ancestry, but she probably does retain the title. She met the late king when she was working as a flight attendant. Hussein’s brother was similarly cut out of (in his case, removed from) the succession, and the throne went to Hussein’s son by his first marriage. The house claims descent from Mohammed, 30+ generations’ worth.

Dr. Eldad says what few in Israel want to admit. There is already a "Palestinian State" and it is already a member of the UN. It is known by the name "Jordan." The so-called Palestinian plight is easily fixed. Send them home to Jordan. Hussein's father rightly understood this (which was an affront to his power) and from it we saw "Black September."
