Jordan is prepared for war against Israel if Palestinians are forcibly expelled into its territory, following remarks by President Trump suggesting Jordan and Egypt take in Palestinian refugees.
Sources of the Middle East Eye magazine indicate that while Jordan prefers a peaceful solution, it would close its borders if refugees began to cross. Any Israeli attempt to reopen the border would be considered a "casus belli."
Jordan fears that an influx of refugees could destabilize the country, which already struggles with its own economic issues.
King Abdullah has made it clear that accepting Palestinians is a "red line."
The situation remains tense, with ongoing protests in support of Palestinians.
