  "account": "King Abdullah II of Jordan, speaking at the UN General Assembly on September 22, 2024, expressed concern over Israel's actions in Syria, stating that the Israeli government's actions pose a regional threat. The Jordanian king emphasized that the incursion into Syria, following the fall of the Assad regime, and the continued bombing and shelling of Syria, represent a development that could escalate conflicts in the region. Jordan's criticism at the UN on this issue is more severe than previous criticisms and focuses on Israel's regional strategy. The Jordanian king's remarks reflect a broader regional shift in perceptions of Israel's role. Historically, Israel was isolated in the Middle East, but after the Abraham Accords, there was hope for normalization with other countries, including Saudi Arabia. However, after the October 7 attack and the subsequent escalation of conflict, many countries have shifted their perceptions, seeing Israel as a potential threat in the region.",
  "summary": "Many people in northern Jordan have historic ties to people in southern Syria and vice versa. At the same time Jordan wants to prevent any spillover from Syria into Jordan.",
