' I guess you are speaking about the display of Arrogance Hubris and Provocative Stupidity by the government of Jordan, daring to interfere in a political appointment in a country over which they have no sovereignty.

I'm not sure why you characterise an ecclesiastical appointment as "political." As for Jordan's say in the matter, you should know that the responsibilities of the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jersusalem extend to Christians beyond the borders of Israel.

An appointment which must, under the law, be approved by a government, is by definition 'political'. This is not exactly rocket science.
