King Abdullah continues to coordinate with PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and seeks to isolate Israel in the regional and international arenas. The Jordanian king is concerned that with the establishment of the new government in Israel, the Palestinian issue will be minimalized in the international agenda. According to Jordanian sources, the King has been working secretly with the White House for several weeks to clarify his red lines and convey them to the Netanyahu government. In the meantime, the King has set forth his principles and Jordan’s red lines for 2023. The official assessment of the Jordanian Foreign Ministry is that the coming year may see a rupture in the relations between Jordan and Israel.
