The detention of Dr. Khawaja is suspected to be based on political grounds amid a growing crackdown on freedom of expression in Jordan.

Since Israel started its genocidal aggression on Gaza, Jordanian authorities have cracked down on pro-Palestinian activists, protesters, and even journalists.

In a bid to distance itself from the plot and the ban, the Islamic Action Front confirmed it has no ties with the Muslim Brotherhood.

The plot is linked to a cell allegedly affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood, which a Jordanian court ordered to dissolve in 2020.

Despite international pressure to free Hiba, Jordanian authorities held her for her full sentence in a “huge setback for press freedoms.”

During the past couple of weeks, Trump has been pushing a number of Arab countries, most importantly Jordan and Egypt, to host Palestinians as part of his proposals to take over Gaza and displace its people.

During his first presidential term, Trump also pressured the Jordanian government to hand al-Tamimi over to the United States or otherwise deport her to another country.

There have been several incidents of Jordanian civilians attacking Israeli targets in the last few months in response to Israel’s genocidal aggression

Abu Taha was the first Jordanian journalist to be sentenced to prison based on the new, widely condemned Cybercrime Law.

The incident marks the second attack launched by Jordanian nationals against Israeli forces in the last month, in retaliation for Israel’s genocidal aggression on Gaza.

Although Israel has a policy of confiscating the bodies of individuals who carry out attacks against its forces, it returned Al-Jazi’s body to maintain security relations with the Jordanian government amid outrage of the Jordanian people.

Jordan’s national politics has always been impacted by the situation in occupied Palestine given the strong relations between the two peoples, and their lengthy joint struggle against the Zionist interests in the region.
