A proposed expansion of Israeli settlements and increased control in the West Bank could pose significant risks to Jordan’s stability, particularly through potential displacement of Palestinians and broader regional tensions. The move would deepen Israel’s presence in strategically sensitive areas, raising concerns over Jordan’s security and its long-standing role as a custodian of holy sites. With Jordan already hosting millions of Palestinian refugees, further displacement could strain resources and provoke political unrest. The developments highlight the delicate balance of influence and sovereignty in the region, where shifts in one area can ripple across borders.
Settlement expansion, displacement and growing Israeli control would have direct consequences for Jordan.
