The recent targeting of American forces has thrust the conflict in the region into a new dynamic, compelling Washington to formulate a unique response.

The Syrian-Jordanian border has recently become a hotbed of unprecedented incidents, marked by violent clashes between the Jordanian army and networks involved in the smuggling of drugs, non-traditional weapons and explosives into Jordan.

The confrontation with Iran is undergoing a significant shift, moving from the familiar realm of proxy wars to a more direct and aggressive style.

Since the onset of the war in Gaza, there has been a noticeable rise in smuggling and cross-border activities along the Jordanian-Syrian border.This is not entirely unexpected, considering the typical increase in such activities during the winter season.

A new phase of the conflict in Gaza is unfolding, marked by the shift towards systematic assassination operations spanning across a broader regional landscape, encompassing Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.

In a recent address, Israel’s defence minister, Yoav Gallant, shed light on the remarkable security challenges that Israel is currently confronting. Strikingly, Israel believes to be under attack on seven fronts, including Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, West Bank, Iraq, Yemen, and Iran.

Last week, Jordan's northern borders faced a significant challenge as militias attempted to breach them, aiming to smuggle weapons and drugs into the country. The attack highlights the serious challenges Jordan faces in dealing with militia activities and securing its borders.

The ongoing war in Gaza is making it incredibly challenging for the people living there and many believe that there is little hope, so it is important to have voices advocating for peace talks and a clear vision beyond the immediate situation that realises long-term stability.

After more than two months of war on Gaza, the region continues to grapple with a complex situation. Jordan faces challenges in reengaging politically with the Palestinian issue.
