In a recent video, Francisco Gil-White made the case for the US wanting to destroy Israel. He said that there is only one party in the US and it supports the policy of destroying Israel. He argued there is no denying the fact that President Clinton forced Israel to accept Arafat and his terrorists into Judea and Samaria. Now President Biden is insisting that the Gaza War should end with a Palestinian State.
I have written many articles on the subject the most important of which is Since When are the Palestinians Entitled to a State. In it, I pointed out that beginning with the Rogers Plan of 1969, every single US administration has pushed for a Palestinian state and protected Arafat so that he could be forced on Israel as Clinton did in backing the Oslo Accords which “rammed Arafat down our throats”.
As Gil-White eloquently argued, “there is no denying this fact”. No one who wants Israel to survive would do this.
So why is the Jordan Option Israel’s salvation?
It anticipates the forced abdication of Abdullah, and the changing of the Monarchy into a Republic to be led by Mudar Zahran. This will happen in the next few weeks.
That will not save Israel. But the creation of a Mid-East NATO will. Mudar Zahran introduced this idea in his video in 2022 titled Jordan’s Future Between the Abraham Accords and an Arab NATO – Mudar Zahran.
It is an idea supported by Saudia Arabia.
What they envisage is that all Sunni states will be part of it, including Syria and Iraq. There is nothing that the US can do about it.
According to the The Washinton Institute, in an article published in 2022,
“More than two years ago, then-U.S. President Donald Trump announced that a “Middle East Strategic Alliance” would be established, quickly dubbed an “Arab NATO” by observers.
Then in my 2022 Webinar, JORDAN: PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE: The Jordan Option Revisited, Mudar Zahran, the Head of the Jordan Opposition Coalition, referred to what Trump had proposed.
And so, the idea of an Arab NATO was born. It took inspiration from the creation of NATO and after the destruction of Europe in WWII. NATO was a defensive alliance in which an attack on one was seen as an attack on all. In the wake of its creation, Europe enjoyed peace, prosperity and stability. The same is expected to happen in the Middle East by similarly creating a ME NATO.
In my article, The New Middle East, published on August 12, 2024, I pointed out what was in store for Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.
Mohammed bin Salman (MBS), the heir apparent and current leader of Saudi Arabia, is financing the new Jordanian army making it capable of conquering Syria in 2025 and then Lebanon. While in Syria, they will make certain that Iran is forced out of the country. Thus, MBS will not only control Jordan but Syria and Lebanon as well. He is also allowing Jordanians to enter Saudi Arabia without a visa bringing both countries closer together.
Jordan becomes one region with Saudi Arabia, and visa requirements for Jordanians are cancelled.
Mohammed bin Zayed (MBZ), ruler of the UAE, will be deposed as will al Sisi of Egypt. The culmination of these efforts will bring the Arab NATO closer to realization. In fact, it will not be an Arab NATO but a ME NATO which will include Israel in the mutual defense treaty.
So, the path to a strong ME NATO is set. Just as the European NATO brought peace and prosperity to Europe, so too will the ME NATO bring peace and prosperity to the Middle East.
The marriage of Saudi money and Israel innovation will ensure it.
In the meantime, Israel has begun its offensive in Lebanon. First the pagers, then the walkie talkies and today, fighter jets struck over 100 Hezbollah rocket launchers in southern Lebanon that were primed for immediate attacks on Israel. It said that in total, the launchers included around 1,000 launch barrels.
Several buildings and a weapons depot belonging to Hezbollah were also struck in several areas of southern Lebanon, according to the military.
Israel has been attacking Hezbollah’s military infrastructure both above ground and below ground for months. The invasion is about to proceed.
In my Aug 12, 2024 article, The Voice of MBS, I quote the Chief Rabbi of Saudi Arabia, Rabbi Herzog,
“Until Bashar steps down, we will eliminate the last tea stall affiliated with Iran in Syria.”
“The new Syria is in love with Jordan, and then Lebanon will follow. The army of the new Jordanian ruler arrives in Damascus first and stands on the outskirts of Beirut before that.”
“The new president controls southern Syria, and then all of Syria, and then #Lebanon. This is less than seven years after he came to power. The Jordanian army has expanded until it becomes a major regional power, especially the air force. Jordan buys some advanced F-16 aircraft from Israel and America. And an Israeli-Jordanian-Palestinian defense treaty is signed by the Jordanian president with Netanyahu. (Netanyahu will remain in power for a while).”
“The relationship between the new Jordanian ruler and His Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman has developed greatly. Jordan becomes one region with Saudi Arabia, and visa requirements for Jordanians are cancelled.”
Clearly this dovetails with what was forecast in The New Middle East.
In Rabbi Herzog’s most recent tweet he said,
The Palestinians in Lebanon will return to their homeland, Jordan, between 2026 and 2028. 650,000 of them are already registered in civil records as Jordanian citizens, but the Kingdom of Jordan refuses to grant them passports. The king will leave, and everything will change.
Lebanon will become part of the Greater Republic of Jordan.
In brief, Saudi Arabia will soon change the face of the region as it wishes, and you will see what happens to anyone who overreaches against Great Saudi Arabia, even if they are a leader or a ruler.
MBS just reiterated That there will be no normalization with Israel without a Palestinian state. He is, of course referring to Jordan soon to be renamed Palestine. He is binging all the Palestinian refugees in Lebanon and Syria back to Jordan.
According to Wikipedia, there are over one million of them,
This is what is in store for the Middle East.
Dr. David Wurmser, who served in the Bush and Trump administrations recommends the following,
“What does the next President have to do to stabilize the Middle East?
The next President should prioritize allowing Israel to achieve a decisive victory by destroying Hamas and Hezbollah so that Israel emerges as a confident, strong horse around which the Abraham Accord alliance can expand and deepen and best anchor U.S. regional interests with minimal investment.
A new way forward for Washington includes abandoning the decades-long failed policy of a two-state solution and examining new options, including the emergence of a cross-Middle East land bridge trade corridor anchored to the UAE and India in the east and Israel and Greece to the west to supplement or even transcend Suez Canal limitations.
It would encourage Israel, Cyprus, and Egypt to build a robust East Mediterranean hydrocarbon production zone and tie that zone to transmission structures for Persian Gulf gas and oil to reach Europe. It would further facilitate the emergence of a post-Hezbollah eastern Mediterranean that restores Lebanon as a proper homeland and beacon for the region’s Christian communities and allows for the emergence of several autonomous entities to replace the defunct Syrian state that can protect the independence of other minorities across the Fertile Crescent.
From all appearances, Donald Trump will be the next president. There is no doubt he will follow Wurmser’s advice, making the ME NATO all the stronger.
And as Wurmser points out,
This will isolate and destabilize so thoroughly the Iranian regime that it moves toward collapse and opens the door for a potential post-Islamic Revolutionary Regime that enters an alliance with Israel.
J D Vance, Trump’s running mate, who will likely become the next president after Trump, has been a steadfast supporter of Israel all his life and particularly during Israel’s war with Hamas. Although he doesn’t want America to engage in foreign wars, he is all in favor of giving Israel the tools to fight its own wars. Exactly what Israel wants.
The stars are aligned. A ME NATO will come into being and the US will fully support it.
And thus, the Jordan Option will be Israel’s Salvation.
Israel and its leaders failed mightily to allow the Hamas attack on Oct 7.
Our towns on the Lebanon border subsequently needed to be evacuated.
Since then Israel has gradually recovered by independent and correct strong military actions to destroy its enemy in Gaza, in-spite of people like Biden, Blinken and Harris telling Israel to cease-fire. This was not in Israel nor its people’s interest and was resisted. The IDF took Rafah and the rest of Gaza including the Philidelphia Corrridor on the Egyptian border.
Now Israel is changing the situation on the border with Lebanon and with the Hezbollah.
These type of brave, smart and strong actions is what is the salvation of Israel and is not dependent on outside actors. There are no magic solutions dependent on third parties.
@EDGAR
Give it a break. We Will know in a few weeks.

We know MUDAR has never wavered in his support for Israel, and I accept that the “refugees”10 years ago supported him, (and likely Arafat too) also the Bedouins But 10 years ago is not today. My comments are just observations, not a criticism G-D Forbid.
There are many more “refugees” today and every poll decisively shows that the vast majority of ALL Jordanians Hate Israel and Jews generally.
They have a terrorist outlook and psyche.
Therefore with due respect to you, which I’ll always have, you did not answer my issue.
Also NostraJacob Herzog very definitely mentioned the immediate President of Jordan after Abdullah goes, and it was NOT Mudar. WHO WAS IT??. And why not Mudar???? You published it.
I believe that if effort, and just deserts count for anything, Mudar will become President, and I note the essential support of 3 major military powers, BUT…Herzog definitely DID mention a different name as Abdullah’s immediate successor.
@EDGAR
When Mudar formed the JOC 10 years ao, he had the support of all refugees in Jordan and the support of a million man Bedouin clan in Jordan.
Publically he has never waived in his support of Israel even tough you would think a politician would want to currey favour with his base. Mudar doesn’t intend to follow. He intends to lead.
Any person who gets rid of Abdullah is seen as someone worth folowing.
Herzog has mentioned Mudar by name many times as the next leader in Jordan. So have others.
TED-
You say that Mudar has the support of MOST of the people. This has to include the vast majority who are incorrigible Jew Haters. They HAVE to already know his policy and leaning towards Israel. And you say they support him. How can he handle this visceral hatred????????
PS Who was the next leader of Jordan according to Herzog whom he mentioned a couple of months ago??? It was NOT Mudar……
I can see GREATER SAUDI ARABIA becoming so strong that Israel will be shoved into a secondary place in the Hierarchy of the Middle East NATO.
And……..being Arabs, WHO can trust them to keep their sworn agreements??
Also what plans are there to turn Jordanians from 90% Jew haters to good citizens as regards Israel and Jews…………
IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE??????????
@Rafi.
In short, the answer is yes. At the moment, Mudar has the support of mosr of the people. After he comes into power the refugees in Jordan will become full flegded citizens and their econmiuc prospect will greatly improve. Saudi money will come into Jordan and build the army into a major fifhting force and airforce. In 2025,it will invade Syria. There is so much you haven’t read but everyting I have written before.
So it probably will happen in the first 2 weeks of October.
He will protect himself for sure. So be patient as well.
@Ted, they said Oslo was a game changer also. So you believe a new Arab ruler whoever he is in Jordan will turnaround all the Jew haters there and change the middle east? Is this a person or an omnipotent being?
Sadat got Egypt out of the direct warring against Israel business, which has been good compared to direct war. The people in Egypt still hate Israel. They did allow weapons to get into Gaza to make war on Israel. They did kill Sadat.
So the new Arab leader of Jordan will be bullet proof and make the Jew haters of Jordan (more than 95%) love Israel and become its friends? Please explain how this is possible kindly.
I believe in the idea of self-reliance and certainly not in basing Israel’s future on some new Arab leader.
@Rafi
This article suggests much more than that. The JO is a game changer. You are just ignoring what I have written.
What a true joke is that USA not providing Israel intelligence for Lebanon operations. Has no one noticed Israel knows when Hezi leaders go to the bathroom. Israel knows if it is number one or two. We know everything they do! This is based on human and signal intelligence.
Israel proven time after time it can only depend on itself. Not on the USA! Also this concept of depending on Jordan which is ~80% Palestinian is simply a faulty concept. These people hate Israel and can never be trusted. If there is ever a temporary leader in Jordan who is friendly, that would be nice but can never be counted upon for the secure future of Israel.
RCP Average 9/11 – 9/23 Harris 49.2 Trump 47.1 Harris+2.1
https://www.marklevinshow.com/2024/09/25/us-not-providing-intelligence-support-to-israel-for-lebanon-operations-pentagon-say/
None of this looks reassuring.
@Michael
With all due respect, I do not believe this is true at all. If half the US voters were against Israel, it would be little effort for the Elitists to sway the last few needed percentages to gain a majority against Israel, and the fact is that even with their best paid Hamas operations across the US, they are still nowhere close to gaining support of half the American voters.
In fact, the most resilient aspect of American society which might be qualified as anti Isreal are the young, and the simple fact is that among all Americans it is the young who are the least likely to vote.
Ted:
And the rest of us are what? Chopped liver?
Actually, about half of US voters, including most US Jews, ARE against Israel. No apologies needed.
Most Pro-Israel Americans don’t vote, along with most gun owners.
TED-
This is an answer I’ve long awaited. Thank You. I posted in this direction a few times in the past but got no interest. You were not posting then.
It sounds fairly conclusive. I hope all other posters are reading this post of yours and the chatter will cease. Thank you again.
@EDGAR
Mudar is is not a lone wolf. He is controlled by three intelligence agencies all of whom tell him what he can and cannot say. He is their man and they will bring about the abdication.
Hmm….!!
I don’t see how Mudar can foresee the behaviour of 4-5 different and competing groups in Jordan alone. Then Iranians, Syrians and Egyptians. To them it surely is “small potatoes”. The main advantage for them is that all unfolding as planned, they’ll be rid of the pseudo- “refugees”, hotbeds of trouble and strife.
If it was not for hatred of Israel, they’d have given them “short shrift” long ago.,in it’s worst sense. I dont know if there are any “refugees” in Iran??
Yet since you trust him I cannot gainsay your belief and trust. I trust YOU,
But it still leaves me puzzled.
@EDGAR
My primary source iof intel comes from Mudar Zahran. I trust him and believe him.
TED-
A really fine explice of the future of the area. But I notice that you are solely discussing agreements between RULERS. What about the people who have ben brainwashed since birth to hate Jews and Israel.??
Every Jordanian poll shows that at least 90% of the population are virulently Jew Haters. The Syrians will be moaning about the Golan Heights for the next 100 years.
You postulate that several rulers will be gone shortly, I presume that you have hard evidence for this. Egypt, Syria and Jordan are Jew Haters first last and always.
The changes you describe are so sweeping that they boggle the mind,
Particularly considering the history of the past hundreds of years. Can it be done in such a short time as you expect???
Can it be done at all. Maybe I’m a bit hidebound considering I’ve lived through much of the past, since the White Paper. I and several others were primed to go to join Irgun when beloved parents stopped us. From about 20 only 3-5 went. All returned except one who was shell shocked and although he ran a business in Eilat had lost all his memories. He didn’t know me from Adam, (in fact his sisters told me before I went on Aliyah that he didn’t know them either).although we spent years in school together and mingled much elsewhere. Poor guy.
@ John Galt IV.
I have no doubt that the american people support us but the State Department doesn’t.
@EDGAR G
Abdulla is partnering with the Muslim Brotherhood the parent of Hamas. He is also allowing Iran’s soldiers to come into the country and to forment trouble in Judea and Samaria. Finally he got SBZ the ruler of the UAEto induce Egypt to helpHamaswin the war. Everyone knows this and that is why these rulers will be rulers no longer.
I have know for over a year that Adullah will be forced to resign and that this will happen by the Jordan Army supported by US troops stationed there and by the UK. You have obviously not read all that I have published. There is no “maybe” here. It’s all been decided and will happen in a few weeks at most. Jordan will become a Republic and Mudar will be its President. And there is much, much more good things about it. Start reading everything that I have posted from Rabbi Herzog and what I have written.
TED-
Forgot to mention that Herzog named a Jordanian President after the upheaval who was NOT Mudar. This after “hinting” that Mudar would succeed Abdullah.
TED
If Jordan has got the support of the UAE the Muslim Brotherhood, and Egypt, (and Iran) this doesn’t mean they’ll be gone. It means that there will be some Viable/visible/strong opposition, even though Mudar and his support will eventually win. Fomenting trouble comes naturally to all these.
I HAVE read everything I’ve seen, that you’ve written on this and recall well that you mentioned the US/UK and other support.
I also read what Herzog posts and much was already a fact but much more is futuristic and yet to occur. He can’t seem to make up his mind about Rania other than she will be deposed, but dies poverty stricken in France, in prison, and elsewhere within a year or so, not forgetting becoming insane. How can her millions be stripped from her legally. ??
I discount about 2/3 of Herzog. And Sisi, dying within a year, in an iron cage
Now the UAE rulers, will also be gone.
The UAE would need invasion and occupation from Saudia.
I’m not decrying your opinion, but raising legitimate issues.
Herzog does far too much mouthing spraying all around him. Clever and accomplished though he may be. He’s lived for many years in Jerusalem yet until now no one has ever heard of him. As if, like Rip Van Winkle he suddenly awoke and began “living”.
We can only await events as they occur.
Your most interesting-to me- remark has been that Gauthier, for whom I had the deepest respect, lived in Jerusalem and was your best friend.
And you posted this only recently and previously had been giving him almost no “air time”.
I brought his name up many times being so impressed, to no notice from anyone. These were in the days when you rarely posted personally. Now you’re on the “air” daily and we are much better off for it.
“The US wants Israel dead.”
Obama, Harris, The Deep State, The Communist/Democrat Party Leaders and American Muslims might agree with that but all of America?
Why don’t you commission a poll by, let’s say, Rasmussen, concerning American attitudes towards Israel and include the following questions:
1) “There is only one party in the US and it supports the policy of destroying Israel.” Yes, No or No opinion
2) ” Do you believe that the American people want Israel dead?” Yes, No or No Opinion.
3) “Do you believe that the US Government wants Israel dead?” Yes, No or no opinion.
If the majority of those polled say yes to all three questions then I will agree with your statements about the US and its people wanting to destroy Israel. Otherwise, those statements in the headline and 1st paragraph are hyperbole, false and utter nonsense.
I like this website but not the insinuation that my entire nation and its all its people hate Israel and want it destroyed.

The JO would be an unqualifie success 100% …IF it is allowed to proceed as planned.
But as I posted several months ago, most likely several different factions aggressively inclined will be there to contest the issue.
I suggested that MUDAR needed US Military, Israeli Military, internal Jordanian backing and other strong support for successful transition.
NO DOUBT but that the JO is the PERFECT answer to the long lasting canker that resisted Israel, hampered as she is by international interference. I am it’s most fervent supporter, it is pure genius.
to be tied hand and foot to the US, especially THIS US, is both stultifying and dangerous to Israel’s freedom of defence, as we have seen right through this War since Oct 7th.
It should have taken a month, Hamas shattered permanently and the hostages back at home.
@Raphael
The JO will happen very soon. The Jordanian army, supported by the US and the UK will make certain it happens. I didn’t make this up. The King will be forced to abdicate andJordan will become a Republic with Mudar Zahran as its President.
You can’t believe it because you are not sufficiently informed.
@Ted et al. I’m sorry but I just don’t see the Jordan Option (JO) happening. Yes, I agree that Jordan is unstable and the monarchy is ready to fall, but the expectation that Mudar Zahran will swoop in and pick up the pieces is, (to be kind), wishful thinking. The population of Jordan is about 9.5 million, and half of those are “palestinian”, according to Ynetnews. I cannot imagine even for a moment that when the collapse of the Hashemites comes, the palestinians, who will have Iranian backing, won’t immediately try to seize power. They are certainly already planning for that. Zahran will either be quickly swept aside, or he will be faced with a full-blown civil war. Iran will support the palestinians to the hilt, but who will be supporting Zahran? Israel’s pockets are not that deep, and the US is losing its taste for proxy wars. OK, what about MBS (the Saudis)… I don’t think that he will want to get his hands dirty. The handwriting already is on the wall. Israel had better prepare for the more realistic possibility that Jordan will turn from being merely antagonistic, to being outright hostile. Given that fact, Israel needs to completely resolve Gaza, and “manage” Hezbollah, before the Jordanian crisis breaks. Israel has some very tough years ahead of it, but so far it looks like they are handling it OK.
I love this! Really hope it works out as planned.
The whole world wants Israel gone – all except those who read the Bible and fear G-d. Why? Because Israel is G-d’s nation, and it is where I – and many others, both Jews and Christians – believe the Messiah will appear. If Satan can destroy Israel, he thinks he may thwart G-d’s plans. I think Trump sees this, and he’s the best hope for Israel’s survival.
A new state for “Palestinians” in what is now Jordan?
And it will be named “Palestine”?
Am I missing something?
