Ammon News - Jordan is reviewing its economic, security and political ties with Israel and may freeze or revoke parts of its peace treaty if the Gaza conflict worsens, diplomats familiar with Jordanian thinking said according to Reuters.

Reuters added that the Israel-Hamas war has reawakened long-standing fears in Jordan, home to a large population of Palestinian refugees and their descendants. They fear that Israel could expel Palestinians en masse from the Israeli-occupied West Bank, where Israeli settler attacks on Palestinian inhabitants have surged since Hamas' Oct. 7 attack.

Reuters also noted to the statement of the Israel's foreign ministry that the country's "relations with Jordan are of strategic importance to both countries and we regret the inflammatory statements from Jordan's leadership."
