Each earned invites as amateurs into the Byron Nelson tournament and Spieth actually one-upped Scheffler’s Longhorn tenure by claiming a national title in his one year on campus He then went and won the Masters as a 21-year-old Open a couple months later and won the PGA Tour Player of the Year award a few months after that.  Spieth was an inspiration for Scheffler back then Spieth calls Scheffler inspiring because the last few years have not only redefined what great looks like on Tour Or the recreational matches played between the two at home in Dallas.  it wasn’t that long ago I was definitely better than him and now I’m definitely not right now,” Spieth said Sunday afternoon “I hate admitting that about anybody but I just watched it those first two rounds and like — I’ve got to get better Spieth has been rounding into form himself, working his way back from offseason wrist surgery He’s playing like one of the 30 best players in the world and is now painfully reminded of just how far away from Scheffler he still is without spectators — just playing alongside each other at Royal Oaks or Maridoe or Dallas National — they help Spieth out That’s how consistently great Scheffler has become “I play a lot of golf with him in town here,” Spieth reiterated “I know if I’m able to clip him when we’re playing at home That’s just the way it’s been the last few years But this mix of soft jealousy or low-key admiration hits a bit harder when it comes from Spieth He’s got more major wins than Scheffler does Spieth has been stuck on 13 for three years.  “It’s inspiring what he’s doing,” Spieth continued “It makes me want to work harder and be better especially after watching him for two days and just getting my butt kicked it would have been hard to be at 18-under in two rounds I don’t think I’ve ever done that “So just getting your butt kicked right there face-to-face at this tournament really stinks.” The only consolation for Spieth came in the final two holes of the tournament While Spieth was packing up his things and getting ready to head to Philadelphia for next week’s Truist Championship — an event he needed a sponsor’s exemption to access — Scheffler was busy making a lame bogey on the 71st hole and a basic par on the 72nd Sean Zak is a writer at GOLF Magazine and just published his first book, which follows his travels in Scotland during the most pivotal summer in the game’s history All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team A reminder: This is ONLY players who have Rookie of the Year MLB eligibility and ONLY a look at potential help for 2025 here’s a look at the top prospects who can help your fantasy roster this season but the outfielder is still performing well and shown how he is far from a one-category player in that timeframe He ended his weekend with a three-hit effort against Toledo on Friday and he also added a stolen base to go with it Anthony is the best prospect in baseball whether you’re considering it from a fantasy perspective or not The Red Sox may want to see him driving the baseball on a more consistent basis before they make him a part of their MLB roster but it’s very hard to imagine Anthony isn’t going to see time with Boston in the coming weeks I said Anthony was going to stay at the top of this list until he gets the call but for the first time in the first month-plus of the season Lawlar went 0-for-9 over his last two games but that ended a streak of four consecutive multi-hit games including a four-hit effort April 30 Lawlar is doing everything he can to get back to Arizona and while there’s no room in the infield right now you have to think the D-Backs will come to the conclusion soon that this is a bit of a waste Shaw failed in his time with the Cubs to open the year and those who didn’t can just look at those stats You know how many young players faltered to begin their career and still went on to become excellent players Shaw started out slowly after being demoted to Triple-A but the infielder has turned a corner even with a hitless final two games over the weekend Shaw isn’t guaranteed to help fantasy rosters in 2025 but there’s obviously enough talent for him to be a contributor in redraft leagues this summer He wouldn’t be on this list if that wasn’t the case Chandler was impressive again Thursday with a season-high nine strikeouts over five innings while allowing just an unearned run against Triple-A Omaha The right-hander has not allowed more than two runs in any outing thus far this year and while he’s not missing bats at an exceptional rate there’s more than enough punchouts to go with weak contact and a lack of self-inflicted damage to be excited about what he’s doing in the International League and while the Pirates may not provide a ton of win chances his stuff is good enough to roster him and adding him to lineups against all but the best teams in the sport Misiorowski has been fantastic for Nashville in 2025 outside of one start where he allowed five runs WIth two pitches that grade 70 in his fastball and curve -- you could argue the movement and velocity on his heater make it an 80-grade pitch -- to go with a strong slider there’s no question Misiorowski has the stuff to be a starter The question is whether he can throw enough quality strikes for that stuff to play as free passes have been an issue since being drafted in the second round back in 2022 Add in the fact that the Brew Crew have dealt with injuries to their rotation and Misorowski is a name fantasy managers need to pay close attention to Arjun Nimmala has shown flashes of brilliance since being a first-round pick in 2023 but those flashes have often been followed by spurts of frustrations Nimmala has done the opposite of frustrate He’s homered four times in his last ten games and is slashing .295/.374/.547 over 23 games with High-A Vancouver Nimmala has easy plus power in his right-handed bat with an approach that gets better each year and while he does have some swing-and-miss profile his ability to make hard contact gives him a decent chance for average He isn’t likely to be a major stolen-base threat with average speed but he has the actions and enough athleticism -- with a quality throwing arm -- to stick at short and it’s great to see him tapping into it in his second full season The Athletics have their top prospect in the majors in Nick Kurtz and their second best prospect could be up soon in Colby Thomas the outfielder is now hitting .296/.364/.504 with five homers and a pair of steals over 31 games Thomas has a swing from the right side that suggests he’ll hit for quality power at the next level and his plus speed gives him a chance to steal 20 bags in the majors He does strike out at a less-than-spectacular rate with 288 over his last two full seasons it’s not out of the question that he’ll hit for a decent average despite the punchouts but he’s someone to keep an eye on in redraft leagues with a great chance of helping the A’s in 2025 Trey Yesavage was Toronto’s first-round pick the year after Nimmala and he was viewed as one of the steals of the 2024 draft after ‘sliding’ to the 20th pick out of East Carolina and after throwing six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts on Thursday he’s now forged an ERA of 2.31 with a 36/8 K/BB over 23 1/3 innings while holding opposing hitters to a .163 average for Low-A Dunedin Yesavage has three well above-average pitches in his fastball splitter and slide while mixing in a solid curve The command needs work -- most pitchers who are still 21-years-old do -- but he generally throws strikes with those four pitches It’d be nice to see Yesavage at a higher level considering his experience but it’s tough to complain about these results Griffin Herring was a sixth-round pick by the Yankees out of LSU in 2024 and to say his stock has risen over the first month of the season is quite the understatement He allowed just his second run of the season Thursday for Low-A Tampa and in the process he struck out 11 without issuing a walk That gives him a 0.60 ERA and 39/10 K/BB for the Tarpons over a not-so-small sample of five starts and 30 innings The 21-year-old offers a plus change that allows a low-to-mid 90 mph fastball to play up and he’ll also mix in a decent change for good measure Add in solid command of those offerings and Herring has the stuff to be a mid-rotation arm and while that doesn’t sound super exciting on the surface he’s the type of player that can be underrated in

missing South Jordan teen pleaded for their daughter to come home safely Sunday as they retraced some of her last-known steps Alisa Petrov, 15, was last seen on April 21, and South Jordan police have characterized her as a “runaway juvenile who is endangered.” Parents Nikolai and Olga Petrov said Sunday afternoon they were concerned about several possibilities including whether their daughter was lured away by an adult or that she was potentially trafficked “That’s what we are suspecting at the moment,” Olga Petrov told KSL TV The mother said she dropped her daughter off at her school classes in American Fork on Monday she didn’t make it to the classroom,” Olga Petrov said “The teachers said she never saw her that day.” the parents said Alisa went to a nearby gas station where teens often go for snacks and told two boys that she planned to run away don’t do it,’ but I guess she went for it anyway,” Olga Petrov said the parents said they learned that Alisa got someone to give her a ride to the UTA FrontRunner station at 6786 W where she then boarded the train and traveled to Provo The parents and police said Alisa approached multiple people about helping her in her journey “She asked a girl to get her a ticket in exchange of cash for the bus to Las Vegas,” Olga Petrov said The 15-year-old was last seen at the Provo FrontRunner station at 690 S The Petrovs said though their daughter was always on her phone including during their excursion to the ski slopes the Sunday before her disappearance she has not been active on social media over the past 13 days it might be really dangerous,” Nikolai Petrov said The couple said they had spoken with Alisa within the past 6 months about talking online to strangers including in places like Discord and Snapchat and they instructed her to delete contacts she didn’t know They said they had checked her daughter’s phone in the days prior to her appearance and there was nothing to suggest she was going to run away The family set up its own website for Alisa and they pleaded Sunday afternoon for her safe return “(Our) whole life is upside down right now,” Olga Petrov said A police spokesperson told KSL TV on Sunday that there were no updates on the case Anybody with information or knowledge of Alisa’s whereabouts is asked to contact law enforcement immediately including by calling the Salt Lake Valley Emergency

Spieth shot a 9-under 62 Sunday at TPC Craig Ranch, his lowest 18-hole score on TOUR since August 2021. He got as high as second on the leaderboard as Scheffler continued his march closer the title – he sat 31-under par through 14 holes – but as Spieth heads into next week at the Truist Championship, and continues his own hunt for the career Grand Slam at the PGA Championship, he’s on a run of four-straight weeks of top-20 finishes. Spieth made five birdies on his opening nine holes Sunday, including a run of three in a row on Nos. 4-6. He made back-to-back birdies on Nos. 11-12 before adding one more circle on the card on par-4 14th before one more to close out his day on No. 18. His 62 tied his lowest final-round effort on the PGA TOUR. Jordan Spieth spins approach back for birdie on No. 11 at THE CJ CUP Spieth hasn’t won on TOUR since the RBC Heritage in 2022 and shut things down in August as he underwent surgery on his left wrist. He opened his 2025 campaign at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and finished tied for fourth the next week at the WM Phoenix Open. He added one more top-10 to his ledger – a tie for ninth at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches – and has since gone T12-T14-T18 in his previous three tournaments starting at the Valero Texas Open. It's been a steady if unspectacular season – he’s 31st in Strokes Gained: Total so far in 2025 – but this recent run of good play, along with Sunday’s final tally, is nothing but positive. “The ultimate goal is consistent play, but it's not bogey avoidance or anything like that. I'm not changing strategy. It's just that my mechanics are just getting a little bit better each week,” Spieth said. “I'm able to do sufficient stuff maybe that I wasn't able to do last year, that maybe my wrist is holding me back, I'm not sure. I feel really good about what we're working on.” With the PGA Championship around the corner, Spieth’s own chase for a career Grand Slam was again brought to the forefront of many in the golf world after Rory McIlroy’s green jacket triumph in April. There haven’t been the brutal heartbreaks and the ongoing question about Spieth’s chase, with Augusta National playing host to the same April tradition year after year, but with McIlroy checking the game’s biggest box, well, what about Spieth? "It's obviously a very challenging week for him. It was harder than anybody, maybe ever trying to win the Masters,” Spieth said on the CBS broadcast Sunday afternoon. “To be that far from his most recent major as well, and then to go do it — it was very inspiring." Good play and good vibes have Spieth ready for his own attempt at history. Copyright © 2025 PGA TOUR, Inc.

I think that's why you see him continuing to get better I feel like every time you guys ask me about somebody I kind of start talking about how good of a teammate he is This guy is infectious around the team and what he brings," Head Coach Nick Sirianni said about Davis prior to Super Bowl LIX "He just brings so much to the team as far as his personality He had a big sack last game that we played and he's been very important to this defense." Davis has brought his Georgia Bulldog pedigree to Philadelphia as the former 2021 National Champion has appeared in two Super Bowls in three seasons with the Eagles native has started all 17 regular-season games in back-to-back seasons with the Eagles after working hard to improve his shape and condition during the offseason "I think Jordan has been doing better and better here as of late and I do think he's improving," Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio said Davis will head into Year 4 looking to continue the improvement he has made over the last three seasons And the Georgia Bulldogs remain a strong presence in Philadelphia "My mom (Shay Allen) is a huge Philadelphia Eagles fan so she loves it more than I do and I'm just ready to get out there and see the team I visited the Eagles and that visit was special That they really cared about their players I'm excited to get there," Davis said after being drafted in 2022 "I feel like defensive line is an unselfish position – it can get selfish if you make it – but I think the guys that we have and the guys that I play with are unselfish as hell They will give you the shirt off their back and that's just the type of people they are happy for other people when they make plays and that's all you can hope for." – Written by Liam Wichser Find out as the competition heats up in Round 2 of Powerful Connections 'What's your nickname?' become a heated debate Make sure you're in a room where you can laugh out loud Here are the jersey numbers for the new veterans Chris and Michelle Britton honor the memory of their youngest son by raising thousands of dollars each year for the Eagles Autism Foundation The Britton family was chosen to represent the Foundation at the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay Jackson took part in this weekend's Rookie Minicamp on a tryout basis The cornerback becomes the fifth draft pick to sign his rookie contract the first-year players got back to football at the NovaCare Complex The Eagles kick off Rookie Camp by getting Smael Mondon Jr. and Antwaun Powell-Ryland to ink their four-year rookie deals a travel football club for boys and girls from New Jersey After adding 10 draft picks to an already strong roster the Eagles will have ample ammunition to continue to bolster the team in the 2026 NFL Draft Robinson was the last first-round linebacker picked by the team back in 1979 The organization honored the men and women who have served the country during the time in Washington with a trip to Arlington National Cemetery How did Howie Roseman execute the trade to get linebacker Jihaad Campbell Why was Andrew Mukuba such a highly sought-after target in the second round What did the Eagles want to accomplish on the final day of the 2025 NFL Draft It's all here in the post-draft episode of Unscripted Ahead of their first official practice as Philadelphia Eagles and outside linebacker Antwaun Powell-Ryland Join first-round pick Jihaad Campbell in his first 24 hours as an Eagle From the moment he gets selected to his tour of the facilities in Philadelphia every moment of Campbell's first day as an Eagle is right here for your viewing pleasure Awake NY isn’t easing into sneaker culture—they’re charging full speed with their Awake NY Air Jordan 5 “Black/Racer Blue” This exciting release blends classic Jordan DNA with Awake’s gritty New York edge paying homage to the iconic “Black Metallic” colorway This pair rocks a black tumbled leather upper you get Awake NY’s oversized “A” logo—because who needs subtle when you’ve got style You’ll find classic retro Air Jordan 5 details like the lace lock and midsole flames, but with a twist.

Spieth was going to finish at least 10 shots behind fellow Dallas native Scottie Scheffler who Spieth played with the first two days and plays with often during off weeks It makes me want to work harder and be better especially after watching him for two days and just getting my butt kicked," Spieth said "So just getting your butt kicked right there face to face at this tournament really stinks to finish to backdoor into a top 10 or top 5 or whatever ends up happening." Spieth is in the field at the upcoming Truist Championship on a sponsor exemption his second of what will be five straight starts on Tour where he went 5-0-0 during the 2022 Presidents Cup and where he had his first chance to complete the career grand slam in 2017 though he got beat by good friend Justin Thomas Despite his inability to chase down Scheffler Spieth is still playing in top form just ahead of the PGA Championship Spieth admits that he is at a bit of a loss on how to top Scheffler.  “It’s inspiring what he’s doing,” Spieth said of Scheffler on Sunday, per Golf.com's Sean Zak “It makes me want to work harder and be better especially after watching him for two days and just getting my butt kicked.  USA; Jordan Spieth reacts after making birdie on the ninth hole during the second round of the THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson golf tournament I don’t think I’ve ever done that," Spieth added.  “So just getting your butt kicked right there face-to-face at this tournament really stinks.” As for the Truist Championship, the PGA Tour initially announced Spieth would be an alternate for the tournament It was later revealed that Spieth along with Rickie Fowler were among the golfers granted a sponsor's exemption to play in the Truist Championship.  "Rickie Fowler, Jordan Spieth and Gary Woodland have secured three of the four sponsor’s exemptions for next week," Zak detailed in a May 2 These exemptions allow the tournament's leadership to place select golfers in the field who did not qualify for the event.  LLC and respective content providers may receive compensation for some links to products and services on this website Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum is one of the best players in the NBA and now his signature Jordan basketball shoes are on sale for what has to be the lowest price ever Hibbett is selling Jordan Tatum 3 Basketball Shoes for only $59 The Anthracite/Pale Ivory/Orange Pearl colorway is the version on sale for that low price and size options (at time of publication) range from men's 8.5 to 13.  but a special promotion at Hibbett is knocking another 20% off the cost after you add the shoes to your cart "These shoes are terrific!" says a happy shopper.  The description of the shoes says: "Pastels swirl bringing to mind the hype of a new game and the next iteration of Jayson's signature shoe Packed with court-ready tech and a conforming fit the Jordan Tatum 3 'Sidewalk Chalk' Men's Basketball Shoe returns in a fan-favorite colorway to help support you through all 4 quarters Buyers have rated these Jordan shoes 4.6 stars out of five which means they are highly rated in the world of basketball shoes.  They've quickly become my favorite for both on-court action and everyday wear providing excellent support during intense gameplay The cushioning strikes the perfect balance between responsiveness and stability The design is a winning combination of style and functionality I couldn't be happier with my purchase and highly recommend them to any basketball enthusiast looking for top-tier footwear," says a reviewer "The Tatum 3 is a great pair of basketball shoes These shoes are lightweight and are comfortable from the first wear The overall design is clean with the perfect amount of color," says another.  Hibbett offers free shipping to Hibbett Rewards members Trouble may be brewing for Curtis and Portia Curtis and Jordan were once a great love story on General Hospital The couple had long-term potential but ultimately ended up divorced Curtis (Donnell Turner) and Jordan (Tanisha Harper) were a happily married couple until Cyrus (ex-Jeff Kober) walked back into her life Her long-ago undercover mission to take the bad guy down resurfaced and it turned out Jordan didn’t do everything by the book Then came secrets and lies as she tried to protect her family from Cyrus He claimed that he could not be married to someone dishonest Curtis immediately fell back in love with his ex He found out she was also a liar when he discovered that Trina (Tabyana Ali) was his daughter Portia didn’t learn from her mistake about Trina because she is at it again.

But he decided on something far more effective: he banned the Muslim Brotherhood.  as Middle East adviser on his National Security Council In his first term, Trump toyed with the idea of banning the Brotherhood in the US Abdullah’s move firmly places Jordan in the western camp’s push against political Islam The move has already paid off. Millions of US dollars for Jordan’s largest desalination plant, which dried up when Trump dramatically cut the foreign aid budget, have been restored, Reuters reports In banning an organisation that has been around officially in the kingdom since 1945 Abdullah has crossed a line that his father was careful not to transgress in 47 years of rule Hussein’s relationship with the Brotherhood was complex but he was a master of balancing global alliances with the challenges he faced domestically but they took no part in the conflict itself.  Former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein’s invasion of Kuwait in 1990 was another crisis for the king Jordan suffered from the pressure the West put on it.  To face this huge challenge, Hussein was keen to keep the unity of his people behind him, so he formed a government in which five ministers were from the Muslim Brotherhood Hussein saw the Brotherhood as a safety valve defusing anger in the nation at a time of big conflicts But Hussein never banned the group, even when he was pressured to do so by Arab leaders like Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser and Syria’s Hafez al-Assad Hussein was no sympathiser and always had his own vision of Palestine But he realised the Brotherhood was peaceful defusing anger in the nation at a time of big conflicts. It also had one asset he cherished: the Brotherhood straddled the Palestinian-Jordanian divide within the kingdom.  Famously, when Mossad attempted to poison Hamas’s Khaled Meshaal on the streets of Amman, Hussein demanded the antidote from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threatening to sever diplomatic relations and put the Israeli perpetrators on trial He even strong-armed Netanyahu into releasing Hamas’s spiritual leader, Ahmed Yassin No other Arab leader has managed to do this with Israel relations with the Brotherhood went into steady decline.  Within months of becoming king in 1999, he expelled Hamas and agreed with the Qataris that their political bureau should move to Doha. He later stripped the Brotherhood’s charitable status and stopped their work He thought he had weakened the Brotherhood to the point where he could contain it even though the Brotherhood has never challenged the regime even when that was happening around the Arab world The Brotherhood did not raise the ceiling of its demands and chants during the Arab Spring. It did not call for the overthrow of the regime, unlike its cousins in Egypt and Tunisia The regime’s other tactic was to encourage splits Jordan granted a licence to a splinter group led by Abdul Majid Thuneibat under the name of the Muslim Brotherhood Association It has used “licences” to crack down on the media arm of the affiliated political party But each time Abdullah thought he had political Islamists licked In recent days, journalists, commentators and former officials have all called for the Brotherhood to be banned. The Brotherhood’s calls to head towards the border and to besiege the Israeli embassy have been special irritants to the regime.  But no media campaign is launched in Jordan without someone planning it. There is nothing spontaneous about such campaigns. Just like Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE no writer in Jordan is truly free to say what they want - and if they do What we are seeing is not a popular campaign against the Brotherhood but rather something that has been planned for a long time.  There have always been two currents of thinking in the royal court and defence establishment.  The first is to see Israel as Jordan’s existential enemy. This has been loudly voiced by Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi, who declared that Israel had killed 30 years of effort to convince people that peace is possible noting that the country is the third-poorest in terms of water in the world The same current can be seen in other, less official ways. When Maher al-Jazi, a retired Jordanian soldier, killed three Israelis in September 2024 at the border crossing between Jordan and the Israeli-occupied West Bank, members of the army went to the family’s mourning ceremony in uniform.  The second current is to see Iran and political Islam as the kingdom’s main enemy - and this has a formidable proponent: Jordan’s General Intelligence Department (GID) an organisation so vast that it was described to me by one former foreign minister as Jordan’s parallel government.  is essentially a creation of Britain’s MI6 and today serves as the CIA’s main Arab partner in the region The CIA provides undeclared financial assistance to the GID over and above the aid that Jordan gets from the US. The relationship between the two agencies is so close that the CIA has operatives permanently stationed at GID headquarters.  In fact, the GID has been regarded as so essential to the CIA’s regional intelligence-gathering on al-Qaeda and the Islamic State group during the “war on terror”, and on Syria and Yemen today, that one former CIA official told The Los Angeles Times he was allowed to roam the halls of the GID unescorted.  told the newspaper that GID interrogators were the best: “They’re going to get more information [from a terrorism suspect] because they’re going to know his language his associates - and more about the network he belongs to.” Another ex-CIA man, Michael Scheuer, who spent four years tracking Osama Bin Laden, told The Times in 2005: “Jordan is at the top of our list of foreign partners and they are willing to help any way they can.” The GID was as capable and professional as Mossad the GID will use the brave defiance of Safadi and others as cover but it will itself pursue a very different agenda closer to that of the US and Israel.  There are clear dangers to Abdullah in following this path. He has not yet gone down the full length of it, as the ban on the Muslim Brotherhood has not extended to the 31 deputies of the IAF - for the moment But the ban is significant enough in itself. For one, the timing could not have been worse, coming around the Jewish festival of Passover, a celebration of joy and thanks, which became in the hands of religious Zionists at Al-Aqsa Mosque a crude show of religious conquest and hatred More than 6,700 Jews entered the mosque’s courtyards to pray according to the Waqf - more than all the Jewish worshippers who visited during the holidays last year Israeli settler incursions at Al-Aqsa Mosque complex have increased by more than 18,000 percent since 2003 when Israeli authorities began allowing settlers to bypass the Islamic Waqf management and enter Islam’s third-holiest site This was also a particularly bad year for Palestinian Christians. Reverend Munther Isaac, a Christian pastor and theologian, told MEE Live that this Easter was “the worst ever”.  secular - has left all ideas of living with its Arab neighbours and being part of the region behind Israel is in full Crusader mode. It is clearly bent on dominating the region and taking control of the holy sites over which the Hashemite kingdom has legal international and historical custodianship Netanyahu’s government is openly flouting the status quo. He boasted about the number of times he had defied former US President Joe Biden’s administration during a recent speech at a Jewish News Syndicate conference in Jerusalem which the king in Amman has a duty to protect Islamists are providing the only defence against a sustained attack by religious Zionists Abdullah is patently failing to speak out against the blatant erosion of his custodianship of Jerusalem’s holy sites which include Christian churches as well as the mosque when all Muslims and Christians in the region are under sustained attack is nothing less than an act of sabotage at a time of war Abdullah has removed a safety valve that he needs more than ever before.  His father fostered the unity of the nation in moments of peril and with each move that Netanyahu makes towards the annexation and ethnic cleansing of the West Bank the anger of Jordanians is mounting.  The presence of the Brotherhood stopped Hamas recruiting in Jordan because of the agreement between them There is nothing to stop either Hamas or any other resistance group from using Jordan as a base for attacks on Israel Jordan’s ban of the Muslim Brotherhood is proof that the king can be bullied Israel does not see a strong man in Jordan It sees a shaky man who is under a lot of stress If Israel sees that such a king prioritises a ban on the Brotherhood over speaking out against what is happening at Al-Aqsa it can calculate that it could get away with its next project King Abdullah should be careful not to follow Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s footsteps down the plughole of history. Even in his dying days Abbas has not for one moment become less stubborn.  He will pathologically not reconcile with Hamas and other resistance groups nor allow a government of national unity to form in either the West Bank or Gaza - even though it’s patently in the interests of Fatah and the PLO to do so.  The result is that Ramallah is crushed, ignored and despised by both Netanyahu and Trump, who now plans to eliminate the US security coordinator’s office to further downgrade ties with the Palestinian Authority Trump’s contempt is the reward Abbas has received for prioritising a relationship with Washington over his fellow Palestinians History will not treat him or the Hashemite kingdom kindly The views expressed in this article belong to the author and do not necessarily reflect the editorial policy of Middle East Eye
