(i24News) Yossi Melman - The growing Islamist threat to its stability and integrity are a source of concern for not only the Hashemite House of Jordan and its elites but also for Israel, the U.S. and the UK.

Israel, directly or indirectly via the U.S. and the UK is, de facto, the ultimate guarantor of Jordanian sovereignty. Israeli intelligence has played a major role in protecting the Hashemite rulers from terrorist plots throughout the years. The earthquake in Iraq is sending shock waves to the desert kingdom.
