Jordan's Abdullah: Israel's Situation Today More Difficult Than Ever

By Roee Nahmias, Published: 09.12.11, 15:21 / Israel News

"Jordan and the future Palestine are stronger than Israel is today. It is the Israeli who is scared today," King Abdullah of Jordan said late Sunday in Amman.

The king described a recent conversation he held in the US with "one of the Israeli intellectuals" who commented on events in the Arab world, arguing that they were good for Israel. "I replied and said that it was the opposite and that Israel's situation today is more difficult than ever before."
