Turkey and Jordan to deepen ties as the Hashemite Kingdom seeks to diversify its relationship away from Saudi Arabia and UAE
In a snub to Saudi Arabia, Jordan appointed a new ambassador to Doha last Tuesday, two years after withdrawing its ambassador in solidarity with Gulf allies who cut ties with Doha, accusing it of backing terrorism, a charge Qatar denies.
Officials and diplomats privately say the warming of ties with Turkey and Qatar is a turnaround in a foreign policy that has in recent years backed Riyadh and the United Arab Emirates on most regional and inter-Arab conflicts.However, Gulf states in recent years reneged on pledges to help debt-burdened Amman with billions of dollars to soften the impact of International Monetary Fund austerity reforms on its cash strapped economy.
Gulf Arabs have shifted their foreign policy focus to their rivalry with Iran, with some officials even calling for normalised ties with Israel. That development has left Amman more isolated in confronting Washington’s possible jettisoning of a Palestinian state under any future Middle East peace plan.a free trade pact with Turkey last year under pressure from Gulf allies seeking to curb the Turkish role in the region, businessman and officials privately say.
Diplomatic sources say the stepped-up rapprochement with Ankara and Doha has accelerated since US President Donald Trump reversed decades of US policy and recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.in endorsing the role of King Abdullah’s Hashemite dynasty as custodian of Muslim religious sites in the holy city.
In another sign of divergence with the Gulf, the kingdom in recent months has lifted curbs on the activity of the Muslim Brotherhood, the country’s main opposition group, signalling a break with Gulf states, many of whom see it as a terrorist organisation. The Brotherhood says it does only peaceful work.
