These may be the widest and fiercest protests since anger over fuel prices in late 2012 deteriorated into riots, looting and attacks on security services. BUT- these protests have been by far and large very peaceful and orderly. No-one is interested in tipping #Jordan into chaos

Jordanian protestors chanting: "The people want the downfall of the government" -- via @7iber
These demonstrations are about far more than just a specific tax law.
They sound now more like the 2011 Arab Spring protests #اضراب_الأردن pic.twitter.com/DpKTHYC8Df

The US was totally and completely isolated here. Abandoned by its closest allies.
I can't ever recall, in my years of covering the UN, an instance in which the US was the only country to vote for its resolution. twitter.com/ZioNLight1/sta…

Reminder: 17 months into the Trump administration, @POTUS has not bothered to appoint a new US Ambassador to Jordan

Nearly 95% of Jordanians don't pay income tax.
That is not sustainable in a country without oil #اضراب_الأردن reuters.com/article/jordan…

Why doesn't Trump administration just stick to saying they're most "pro-Israel" White House ever? This is convincing (in many circles).
Don't understand need to constantly mention they'll bring peace between Israel & Palestinians, which is laughable apnews.com/f06f0fd720eb46…

EXCLUSIVE:
I've obtained a letter from Iraq's National Intelligence Service requesting that the @nytimes returns the 15,000 "ISIS Files" illegally seized and smuggled out of #Iraq by @rcallimachi and her team.
NYT said today that they plan to "donate" the files back to Iraq. pic.twitter.com/iMZzo472zt
