🇯🇴:🇪🇬 Report | Troubling Situation for Jordan and Egypt:
Despite their support for Israel, both Jordan and Egypt are now facing serious challenges. Israel has gained control over vital resources that both countries rely on.
Israel now controls 30% of Syria’s water and 50% of Jordan’s water supply. Jordan depends on the Sea of Galilee and Yarmouk River for its water, both controlled by Israel. Recently, Israel threatened to cut Jordan’s water supply after comments made by Jordan’s minister about the war in Gaza. Israel also published a map claiming Jordan as part of “Historical Israel”, which includes parts of Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. This move by Israel was strongly condemned by Jordan, but they have done little to protect their rights.
For Egypt, the U.S. has decided to take $95 million in military aid away from the Egyptian army and give it to Lebanon. This change happened because of Egypt’s human rights issues, especially the detention of political prisoners. Israel’s influence has caused this shift, showing how Egypt’s support for Israel has come at a cost to its own national interests.
Both Jordan and Egypt, despite supporting Israel, now find themselves struggling. They have allowed foreign powers to control their resources and influence their decisions. This shows how they have put their own people’s interests aside for political gain, leaving them vulnerable and without the power to protect their own futures.
