There is neither security nor safety in Jordan, unfortunately.

* There is neither security nor safety in Jordan, unfortunately. More Iranian rockets are falling on Jordan, and there will be casualties, unfortunately, while the government is hiding everything up to now and concealing the number of injured. Meanwhile, the king’s family and all his relatives have fled the country and are now in Europe.

* The entire family of the King of Jordan is outside the country, and the king himself comes and leaves for only a few hours and in a limited manner, and of course he has films and photos taken for media consumption to show that he is still there—and most rulers do that. Jordan is now without a Hashemite family.

* Israeli aviation is the one protecting Jordan’s borders and skies right now. Jordanian aviation is weak and unqualified for combat, and the pilots entered on the basis of tribal affiliations like the Zut and Shuwayha clans and connections, and we see no real competence. Let the Jordanians thank their Lord that Israel is protecting their airspace.

* The gas has run out in Jordan, by admission of the Jordanian government itself. And therefore, electricity will start to be cut off because they use it to generate electricity.

* Food shortages have begun to appear in Jordan today, and within days it will become clear that the king left Jordan with nothing. The American aid that the king obtained to support the Jordanian people during the war—all of it has gone into accounts in Europe.

* There will be a closure of the Jordanian-Israeli borders, as I see it, because at a certain time and as a result of the deteriorating situation of the Jordanians in the war, many Jordanians who hold yellow and green residency cards will try to enter Israel.

* I do not rule out problems arising on the border between Jordan and Israel.

* Jordan has a large number of Iranian and Iraqi intelligence agents affiliated with the Iranian regime, and all of them entered under the guise of Iraqi investors, and these people are extremely dangerous and may do something. We in Israel know everything, and I warn the King of Jordan and Jordanian intelligence and their director: If any acts are committed against Israel, the punishment will be immediate.

* Some Arab friends ask me: Is it possible for the Israeli Defense Forces to enter Jordanian territory? And I reply to them with full confidence: We will not stop at any place to protect Israel. And if we need to enter the bedroom of a Hashemite king, he himself will not be able to stop us.

* The simple truth is that some Arab regimes will be victims of this war, and their people will bring them down. This is a warning to whoever allied with Iran in secret and lies in public and claims to be for peace and for normalization.

* I want to explain to you here the Israeli way of thinking: We do not respond directly to those who wrong us, but we take our time and pretend that we do not understand what is happening, and make him think he is smart and that he has fooled us, and at the same time we let him destroy himself at the appropriate time. This message is directed at four Arab rulers who thought they were clever.

* The beginning of the war will show that Jordan and Egypt and others are facing a completely different upcoming phase
