Jordanian reactions to the recent escalations in Jerusalem and the Palestinian territories
by
Dr. Otmar Oehring, Mona Koehler-Schindler

The newest wave of violence in Jerusalem – the city which is sacred to the three major religions in the world: Judaism, Christianity and Islam – has some observers warning about the possibility of a third intifada. While it is too early to draw such conclusions, it is clear that the old conflict between Israelis and Palestinians has reached another peak.
