Jordan warns Israel of 'massive conflict' over annexation

We agree with many countries in Europe and the international community that the law of strength should not apply in the Middle East," he said.Khaled Elgindy, senior fellow at the Middle East Institute, said Israel's annexation plans could pose a threat to the Jordanian monarchy."When the king himself comes out and essentially puts his relationship with Israel and the treaty with Israel on the line, its very serious," he told Al Jazeera from Arlington in the United States."For the monarchy in Jordan, an end to the two state solution - which this plan and annexation is really aimed at achieving - an end of any prospect of a Palestinian state poses not just a strategic threat, but quite possibly even an existential threat to the monarchy in Jordan."Jordan has been lobbying the EU to take "practical steps" to make sure annexation does not happen.In a statement, Jordan's Foreign Minister Ayman al-Safadi "stressed the need for the international community and the European Union in particular to take practical steps that reflect the rejection of any Israeli decision to annex".At a video conference, EU foreign ministers reaffirmed their support for a two-state solution and opposition to any annexation.
