Jordan

Ties with Israel are deteriorating immensely over the extreme civilian casualties of the Gaza war. Jordan refused to sign the water and energy agreement back in November 2023, with an enormous mounting death toll in the Gaza Strip. The two countries shared a relatively calm relationship since signing the peace treaty in 1978. However, this war waged on Gaza looks to be a major dealbreaker. Talks on the matter have hit a dead end. The continuation of hostilities against Gaza by Israel is threatening to fracture their relations with Jordan, with severe consequences to follow. 

Pray for God’s intervention to break the deadlock in the talks between Jordan and Israel (The Bible, Psalm 29:11).

Pray for the Holy Spirit to turn the hearts of decision-making politicians in Jordan and Israel and be open-minded enough to resolve the situation (The Bible, Psalm 122:8).

Although the country is ranking low, hostility toward Christian Believers has marginally increased.  Millions of Jordanians are facing numerous problems in life such as the prices for food, fuel like petrol are constantly increasing. People who are working without any salary revisions find it very hard to survive with the meager money earned. They are under persisting problems financially and the poverty rate is steadily increasing. There is scarcity of water, food supplies and most needed resources. As the war is raging in the region, the challenge of sheltering and feeding the high inflex of refugees from all sides is mounting. Millions of refugees from different conflict zones are trying to find refuge in Jordan.  As life struggle goes on, the Christians few in number are under constant threat of persecution. They are trying all their best to keep themselves away from the hostile Muslim groups.
