Overview

The symposium emphasized the strategic importance of the Palestinian Issue for Jordan, since this issue and its consequences have formed a major factor in the drafting the kingdom's policy and its internal and external alliances. In addition to the close Jordanian link to the issue outcomes, whether or not those outcomes opposed Jordan's interests or supported them. Current progress has madeJordanian decision-makers reassess the political reality in the region. The reassessment is the result of the changes in the International System or because of the increase in Hamas'importance and strength and its political, ideological, social, and security power, or because of the reiteration of the other parties in the Palestinian scene before Hamas. These factors obliged the Jordanian decisionmakers to reevaluate regional relations and its role in them. That is why Jordan called Hamas - which is the main party in the Palestinian scene, and which emerged from the Islamic Movement in Jordan - to a direct dialogue for the purpose of rearranging trelations between the two parties and to build new relations that are based on achieving co-strategic interests. The symposium has come out with five possible scenarios: First: forming a strategic relationship Second: to reach understandings and co-basis Third: to build a relation that prevents misunderstandings Fourth: to agree only on the importance of such meetings and dialogues Fifth: to fail in achieving any progress in reaching interests and benefits to any of them, this means keeping the relation on its previous situation
