"Well-placed sources in Amman and Jerusalem told MEE that the last thing #Jordan wants is war and it is eager for a peaceful solution. But they are adamant that the ##Jordanians will close the border if refugees begin to cross into the country.
If the #Israelis seek to re-open it, that would be "a casus belli," one source said.
The Jordanians are under no illusion they could win a war with #Israel, but believe they would have no choice but to fight. "
