Abstract

The article emphasizes the importance of discussing economic issues during the upcoming meeting between King Abdullah II of Jordan and President Biden, alongside the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian tensions. It highlights the significant U.S. support for Jordan, including a commitment of at least $1.45 billion annually in foreign assistance and the sale of advanced fighter jets, while also noting the challenges in Jordan's relations with Israel, particularly under Prime Minister Netanyahu's government. The article outlines Jordan's precarious economic situation, marked by high unemployment rates and substantial national debt, exacerbated by recent global crises. It suggests that addressing Jordan's economic stability is crucial for both domestic well-being and regional security. [Extracted from the article]
