Jordan: Donald Trump's unexpected interference in the Gaza crisis

The situation in the Middle East is taking an unexpected turn with the arrival of former US President Donald Trump on the scene. With the crisis in Gaza seemingly in political turmoil, Trump is wasting no time in exerting unprecedented pressure on Jordan to resolve the dilemma, positioning himself once again as the self-proclaimed savior of international conflicts. The Jordanians, who already have enough to deal with their own internal instability, find themselves inundated with eccentric recommendations coming from the United States.

Unexpected interference

Since leaving the White House, Trump has not fundamentally changed his style, mixed with seduction tactics and arrogance. This return to the international stage leads him to press Amman to adopt an action plan to deal with the situation in Gaza. Jordan, perceived as a pivot of regional stability, thus finds itself trapped between a rock and a hard place. Jordanian leaders juggle external pressure and internal expectations, adding a new layer of complexity to an already fateful equation.

Trump's Plan: Innocent Ignorance or Calculated Cynicism?

This action plan, which Trump seems to consider a magic formula for resolving conflicts, raises more questions than answers. At what price should Jordan conjure up its demons to please a character who juggles promises like a magician on amphetamines? Trump offers simplistic solutions without taking into account the daily life of the Palestinians or the diplomatic challenges that Jordan faces. An approach that recalls those movie actors who think they can play the hero, without having read the script of the regional reality.

Jordanian reactions: between exasperation and resilience

The reaction of Jordanian politicians and the population was swift. On the one hand, exasperation at this perceived interference, on the other, a marked resilience, as if to say “We don’t need a Donald Trump to tell us how to navigate a sea of ​​challenges.” Jordanians know full well that it is above all a question of protecting their national interests, not being swayed by empty promises made by a former head of state whose priorities are far removed from the realities of their lives. A precarious balance in an already volatile context.

In short, as Jordan struggles to maintain its stability, Donald Trump's return to the world arena could prove as entertaining as it is daunting. A mix of concerns, worries and fears for an uncertain future, where geopolitical stakes mix with the dark humor of a political scene where everyone tries to play their card, with or without the blessing of a Donald Trump in international coffee machine mode.
