This event is unusual given that Israel and Jordan generally maintain good relations; they signed a peace treaty in 1994 after four wars and have since fostered strong ties despite recent tensions due to the conflict in Gaza and Jordan&#8217;s significant Palestinian population. This marks the first major violent occurrence between them in some time. The investigation is ongoing, and details about the shooter remain unclear. While Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad commended the attack according to reports from The Wall Street Journal, they did not take responsibility for it. Additionally, it&#8217;s worth noting that Jordan hosts a U.S. military base that was targeted by an Iranian-backed militia drone strike earlier this year, resulting in three American fatalities<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2653,"featured_media":2338375,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Israel-Jordan.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[33709,4671,4356,4133,4300],"class_list":["post-2338374","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-border-security","tag-israel","tag-jordan","tag-news","tag-shooting"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Israel-Jordan.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2338374","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2653"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2338374"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2338374\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2338375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2338374"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2338374"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2338374"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
