1. There's too many

people for too little space--right now there is no quick fix,although Jordan can expand by developing their desert like Israel is doing in the Negev.
2. not accurate
(11.13.14)
The Temple Mount crisis has nothing to do with Jews trying to change the status quo, but rather a Jihadist push (financed by Qatar through the Murbitat organization) to focus on Israel and the Temple Mount with the specific aim to destabilize and defeat Egypt and Jordan. Abdullah has to attack Israel about the Temple Mount to counter claims that he is a Zionist. Susser is also wrong about "the Jordanian nightmare" that is a collapse of the West Bank that would bring to Jordan another wave of refugees. Abdullah knows that a major portion of the Jordanian populace identifies with ISIS and Jihad. He is still alive because of Saudi cash he uses to buy loyalty and quiet, Saudi Arabia to the East, Israel to the West and American "advisors" in the North. The "Jordanian nightmare" is that when his populace rises up against him, he won't make it to the airport in time to flee to London.
3. Returning to the homeland!

Palestinian Arabs from Judea & Samaria returning home to Palestine, send the King back to his homeland (Saudi Arabia or London) and things will fall into place like they need to.
