The View from Jordan Amidst Middle East Turmoil with Taylor Luck and Nadine Epstein

How has Jordan, which borders Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Syria and Israel, remained stable despite the region’s escalating wars and tensions? And while Jordan was part of the coalition that helped Israel shoot down missiles and drones coming from Iran, how has the Israel-Hamas war strained relations between Israel and Jordan? Can the cold peace between them last and what would it take to warm it up? How is Jordan, sometimes called the Midwest of the Middle East, different from other Middle Eastern states? Join Amman resident and The Christian Science Monitor’s Middle East correspondent Taylor  Luck and Moment Editor-in-Chief Nadine Epstein for a conversation about Jordan today, including recent elections that saw a rise in support for a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood; Jordan’s relationship with other Middle Eastern countries such as Iran and Lebanon; and Jordan’s advocacy for a two-state solution. This program is part of Moment’s Insight into the Middle East series.
