Jordan to Allow Israel to Use Its Airspace Against Iran
Jordan is reportedly permitting Israel to use its airspace to counter potential Iranian attacks, despite the official stance of the Jordanian government.
According to a high-ranking source in Amman cited by Israeli Channel 12, this decision aligns with Jordan’s broader security interests and its policy of collaboration with Israel, as demonstrated in April when Jordan assisted in thwarting an Iranian attack.
The source emphasized that Jordan’s actions are consistent with its strategic alliance with the United States, despite its public denials of such cooperation. This revelation comes amid heightened tensions following the recent killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, which Iran attributes to Israel, although Israel has not officially confirmed or denied involvement.
Reports suggest that Jordan had previously granted Israel similar permissions in April during an Iranian missile and drone attack. This latest development reflects the complex geopolitical dynamics in the region as Jordan navigates its alliances and security concerns amid ongoing regional conflicts.

They were in fact killed as Israeli forces were entering the area.
Not to blame Israel for their deaths but this is hardly evidence that Biden’s advice was bad.

Fair enough.
Do you think they'd have been released if his advice had been followed? Something tells me...no.

Actually the editorializing in the Israeli press today is that, had Netanyahu not insisted on controlling the Philadelphi corridor, they would have been released in the deal that fell apart last month.
I can’t weigh in on that question but I can say that tying this to Biden seems a little desperate. Maybe even disrespectful.

At least I didn't call for him to be caged.

Not disrespectful to Biden. But maybe when we learn that six young hostages were murdered our response shouldn’t be ‘how can we use this for our political advantage?’
(Not accusing you of the latter, but the website you lifted it from)

I don't think that's all about him. I think a lot of the American public think...
- Biden screwed the pooch on the Afghanistan withdrawal.
- Hamas attacked Israel because they had the weapons, infrastructure and intelligence to do so. A lot of that was because Biden freed up a lot of Iranian money.
- Biden has also obviously been going downhill for awhile. Many think Hamas chose this point in his presidency because of his limited faculties and an apparent waning support for Israel.
- A lot of people wonder who is running the country. From the Dem convention, to pictures of Biden sleeping on the beach, to Kamala-lama-ding-dong's campaign trips, who is in the Whitehouse?

I haven't followed the negotiations closely.
What is Israel demanding? what is Hamas refusing?

The Fat Guy makes it all about him.
No, he made it all about Border Czar, Last Person in the Room, Vice President Harris and Joe “Put a Lid on the Day” Biden.

He didn’t talk about his campaign at all, just their incompetence.

He wasn’t talking about his campaign, he was acting it out. AKA campaigning.
