Israel and Jordan, despite signing a peace treaty in 1994, continue to navigate a complex relationship heavily influenced by regional tensions and historical grievances. Currently, the Israel-Hamas conflict has put a strain on their diplomatic ties, complicating the political landscape further. The conversation between Taylor Luck, a correspondent for The Christian Science Monitor, and Nadine Epstein, the Editor-in-Chief of Moment, provides insights into Jordan's internal political shifts, including the election gains by a faction of the Muslim Brotherhood, and the kingdom's foreign relations, particularly with neighboring Iran, Egypt, and Syria. This discussion forms part of Moment’s broader series exploring Middle Eastern dynamics.
