HAMAS, JORDAN AND BETTER "TIES"...YA ...RIGHT.   

When I read the attached article, I couldn't help but wonder what color the sky was in the Author's world?

The King of Jordan has about no intention what so ever of making any commitment that could strengthen The Muslim Brotherhood.

What is really going on here is more about Hamas getting ready to find a new home if Sisi and the Egyptian Army moves to neutralize Hamas' abilities in Gaza.

The concept of Jordan reaching out to Hamas is simply not plausible, even in a region of the world where double dealing and broken promises are an art form.

 Look, the facts are these!

Egypt has the Muslim Brotherhood on the ropes and Hamas is easily in Sis's gun sites.

Hamas has lost far more friends in the past two years than they care to admit, Syria.... Iran... Hezbollah.....if they ever really were "friends"..

Would a collapse of Hamas authority in Gaza cause concerns for the King of Jordan?

Yes.

Is the King willing to build a bridge to Hamas and risk any future dealings with Saudi and Sisi?

No!

Remember; Jordan is still in the conversation of becoming a member of the GCC and any "reaching out" to a group who supports the enemy of the Saudi government... the Muslim Brotherhood.....well... that is not smart politics.

Finally, it seems members of Hamas are the ones doing all the talking about working with Jordan.

When I see a story from the King's Staff on the subject, then I might begin to believe something is "up" and even then I would not submit it will end well for Hamas.

Hamas and Hezbollah are both set to have very bad years and lifelines to countries like Jordan may make great one day news stories, but I wouldn't place any bets.
