@mohammadalajarmeh Now that is just childish and immature. You actually just prove those hardliners right - they get the exact thing they want, they can portray you and your fellas as uncompromising, unyielding people that would like nothing more than the destruction of Israel.

Ask the Jordanians. Their government is actually doing something good that will benefit them as well and they criticise it.

Jordan is one of the better nations around... Israel needs a stable Jordan and they need water. It would be very dumb to not help.

That "Deal of the Century" was never a realistic option. It died the moment Trump lost the election. Where else will you find the water? Jordan is mostly desert and the Jordan river isn't full either. Sure, Jordan could built a huge desalination plant in Aqaba but it would more than double the length needed to reach Amman and other population centers in the north. I checked. Try pumping water that far. It would be prohibitively costly to do so. With Israel you save hundreds of miles and many pumps requiring lots of electricity. Aqaba - Amman is 280 kilometers. On the flip side, Jordan gets control over Israel and their electricity.

@mohammadalajarmeh How is this Palestinian water when it is made on the shoreline of Israel using Israeli desalination plants? Around Aqaba, having a desalination plant for the region would work, but this is not where all that many people actually live. Sure, you need to change agriculture to less water-intensive crops and try drip irrigation technologies. Plus, water conservation and waste water treatment for agriculture. Actually Israel does want the electricity. It is cheap and clean - just what they need. Man, be reasonable. There is really no need for being so confrontational all the time. This way you will never have peace. Trust needs to be built.

@dogbert52 And what will this accomplish?

Cooperation is good. Typically prevents wars.

@dogbert52 No Israeli would wish for the collapse of Jordan. Sure, the populace isn’t friendly to Israel and would rather support Palestinians but the leadership doesn’t engage in open hostilities anymore. They have a cold peace. And Israel would rather have them than some failed Lebanon 2.0 or Syria or radical Palestinian controlled state.

Israel doesn't have business in Yemen and Iraq. As for Lebanon, the intense infighting between sects is the cause of the current crisis. With Syria, things had been quiet before the civil war and Israel very much does not want this to spill inside. Jordan didn't give away the river. They still border it. But the demands on it are too great for the water it carries. Just check how the population expanded in the past decades and realise that people need more water on average today than 50 years ago.

Israel doesn't really have all that much empty space for solar energy (Negev desert should be developed into an agricultural region). Jordan has and they need some sort of income.

@farright118 It was Ben Gurions dream to turn the Negev green. Plus, they need space for urban development. Can’t really continue settlements in West Bank.

Governments, not people unfortunately. Hopefully this changes.

@omaralrub1255 Keep waiting then for a God to solve your problems. He has not done so in over 70 years. Nothing reasonable to waste an entire lifetime. And by the way, there never was a nation known as Palestine so there is nothing you can return to.
