It Was Always Going To Be A Bit Flammable.

Jordan, as the controller of the Al-Aqsa compound, appearing to recognise Israeli sovereignty over the Palestinian West Bank. Of the Jordan River.

They haven't worked the details out yet.
However I'm sure Israel meant to say that it intends to assist the state of Palestine in protecting the Jordan River.
Even if not. Then Jordan has recognised Israel since 1994. Since 1967 Israel has being recognised as the Occupying Power over the Palestinian West Bank. With all the responsibilites that entails.
Leaving the Palestinian nation without a Jordan River that is highly polluted and riddled with Cholera would hardly be the worst thing they've done as the Occupying Power.
Whenever I'm discuss Climate Change and environmental issues now. I'm always reminded of an incident in the early days of my involvement in the ongoing war in Syria.
I'll need to check my notes to be sure of the exact dates.
However there was a situation in North-East Syria where you had an area controlled by the Syrian government.
To the North of that you had an area controlled by ISIL.
To the North of that you had an area controlled by the, then, YPG.
To the West of that you had another area controlled by ISIL.
To the West of that you had another area controlled by the YPG.
To the West of that you had an area controlled by Al Qaeda.
So in this very small area you had this large array of constantly and violently shifting borders.
Then the rain came.
The rain didn't care about any of that.
Everybody got flooded out equally.
