Peloni: This is a very important report. Read it carefully.

Ten years ago, the President of the UAE, Mohammed bin Zayed, began dreaming of controlling Jordan.
The person who convinced Mohammed bin Zayed of this idea was the former Palestinian PLO member Mohammed Dahlan, Mohammed bin Zayed’s adviser on everything.
They met with King Abdullah of Jordan and his wife, Queen Rania, and the Emirati offer was clear: an alliance against Saudi Arabia and the reduction of Saudi Arabia’s vast influence in the region.
The UAE offered the King of Jordan tens of billions of dollars in return. To date, the “twinning” project between Mohammed bin Zayed’s regime and the Jordanian king’s regime has cost Mohammed bin Zayed more than $80 billion, which went to the king and his wife.
Mohammed bin Zayed was extremely generous with the King of Jordan and his wife: he opened employment opportunities in the UAE to everyone loyal to the regime, handed media outlets over to Jordanian intelligence officers, brought Jordanian army officers to work in the Emirati military, and appointed Jordanian intelligence officers in Abu Dhabi.
Things developed rapidly, and Mohammed bin Zayed came to believe that he owned Jordan. The UAE president’s idea was to have vast borders adjacent to Israel while simultaneously controlling Saudi Arabia’s northern borders.
This greed explains Mohammed bin Zayed’s insistence on claiming that he loves peace and seeks peace between the Arabs and Israel, because he does not want Israel to obstruct his plan.
One of the strangest things Mohammed bin Zayed did was that, despite claiming hostility to the Muslim Brotherhood, he supported the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan because they are affiliated with the King of Jordan, and he supported them with full force. The UAE even secretly defended the Jordanian king’s refusal to ban the Brotherhood during Emirati–American meetings.
Cooperation between Mohammed bin Zayed’s regime and the Jordanian regime reached a dangerous stage: many of the mercenaries who served in the UAE, Yemen, and Sudan were trained directly in Jordan, with the knowledge of the Jordanian king’s son, Crown Prince Hussein.
The UAE also played a major role in supplying weapons to several parties in cooperation with Jordanian intelligence, including parties involved in civil wars.
The King of Jordan gave Mohammed bin Zayed everything he desired, to the point that Mohammed bin Zayed came to exercise complete control over Jordanian intelligence—especially the current intelligence director, Hattouqai, who travels frequently to Abu Dhabi and holds massive assets there.
An entire team of Jordanian intelligence officers was even transferred to Abu Dhabi, and many Jordanian intelligence personnel receive two salaries: one from intelligence and one from Abu Dhabi.
The most dangerous thing the UAE contemplated—on several occasions, in cooperation with Jordanian intelligence—when it felt a severe threat to the King of Jordan and the possibility of his regime’s collapse, was to ignite strife in Jordan and a civil war.
They launched, with full Emirati cooperation—especially from Jordanian intelligence officers based in Abu Dhabi—a campaign against Palestinians in Jordan, who make up more than 90% of the population.
The campaign was launched primarily via social media, especially X and TikTok, using many accounts belonging to intelligence officers specialized in insults and incitement against the Palestinian majority of Jordan’s population.
The goal was clear: to ignite a fabricated civil war in the style of the 1970s, to intimidate Jordanians in the manner of Sudan’s civil war, and to entrench the existing regime. This is what Mohammed bin Zayed did in Yemen, and this is what he did in Sudan.
Here I note that Israel was the one that prevented a civil war in Jordan, because it would have been inhumane and also dangerous for Israel’s borders. You Palestinians in Jordan are fortunate that Mohammed bin Zayed held back from causing trouble for you and that Jordanian intelligence was stopped; otherwise, the war would have erupted a year ago in central Amman.
Now, after the setback Mohammed bin Zayed suffered in Sudan and after Saudi Arabia was pushed out of Yemen, he has come to know that the regime in Jordan will eventually fall, and that the most likely president will be that Palestinian figure who has repeatedly provoked and fought Mohammed bin Zayed.
To this moment, Mohammed bin Zayed still dreams of controlling Jordan after the regime’s fall, having become certain that it will fall, and dreams of doing so through the intelligence chief. But I say to bin Zayed: Mr. President of the UAE, save your money and do not cause yourself more problems. The regime in Jordan will change, the next president will be Palestinian, and Jordan itself will change.
Here I say frankly that Mohammed bin Zayed, President of the UAE, received a blunt message from several great powers not to stick his nose into Jordan at all—especially regarding future changes. The message was delivered in the manner of “forewarned is forearmed.”
And I hint at matters far greater than what I have written to you; and with Azraq al-Yam?mah there is knowledge you do not know.
Muslim Brotherhood is illegal in Jordan. So this false claim makes me question the validity of the whole article.
@Rafi
You should always remain cautious when reading news reports, but not just those that support the accepted narrative. Perhaps you think that since the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan is banned that its leader, Hammam Saeed, is no longer in Jordan, or that if he is he is actually in prison? Like many ruses, the use of terms and definitions have a consequence, such as the use of allowing ‘political’ wings of such institutions as the Muslim Brotherhood to remain quite active, in Jordan and elsewhere.

Islamic Action Front was the name the Muslim Brotherhood had used as this ruse was stopped as you will note by the article above last April in 2025.
@Rafi,
The Muslim Brotherhood party in Jordan, the IAF, is NOT banned as you claim, but it should be.
The IAF is the LARGEST party in Jordan’s govt. And as the link below indicates, it has NOT been banned. The article you cited in fact does not state that it is banned nor that its members are either no longer part of the IAF nor that they are no longer serving in Jordan’s Parlaiment, because they are. There were two members who were arrested, one of which was released pending further investigation and another who situation is not clear as to whether he has been released at this point. Nonetheless, the IAF is a functioning, active, thriving, and leading political party in Jordan. If you have evidence to the contrary, you should please present it, but the article you shared simply states that their offices were searched, nothing more, which is what misled many into believing that the party was banned when it was not.
So, with all due respect, the ruse, as you well describe it, continues and persists while too many are being misled to believing that it has been stopped last April. It is this very ruse which allows the Muslim Brotherhood to operate with impunity, in public, as if invisible, and not just in Jordan.
By the way, here is the IAF’s Official Party Webpage listed in the Jordanian govt website, last updated three days ago, with all their members listed (in Arabic, but easily translated):

If anything I have written here is incorrect, I would be much obliged if you would raise it to my attention, as this is not a trivial point of discussion. Again, the Muslim Brotherhood party in Jordan is NOT banned, but it should be.
