Inner divisions in Jordan have resurfaced after recent pro-Hamas riots against security forces and the arrest of Muslim Brotherhood activists. The clashes come amidst anti-Israel protests in the nation, with the Muslim Brotherhood being a key advocate. Following the arrests, a prominent member criticized the government’s actions. These events have reignited historical tensions between Jordan’s “original” population and Palestinians, with differing impacts on society. Past conflicts and disparities in representation between these groups have fueled the current discord.
