The group was reportedly involved in building rockets and drones and recruiting operatives inside and outside Jordan, with plans to target critical infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A senior security official revealed that some of the suspects had direct links to the Muslim Brotherhood, sparking controversy in Jordan\u2019s parliament. Several lawmakers called for the dissolution of the Brotherhood\u2019s political wing, the Islamic Action Front Party.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/21\/03\/2025\/syria-damascus-israel-2\/#\">Region on the Brink: Israel and the U.S. Escalate in Syria, Gaza, and Yemen<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In response, Hamas issued a statement defending the detainees, describing them as acting on behalf of the \u201cconscience of the nation\u201d in solidarity with Palestine. This move was widely seen in Jordan as a blatant interference in domestic affairs and an attempt to politicize a national security matter. The Islamic Action Front subsequently suspended three members whose names appeared on the official indictment list.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Who Loses the Most?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Former Jordanian Minister of Information, Samih Maaytah, spoke candidly in an exclusive interview with <\/span><b>+963<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, describing the Brotherhood-Hamas relationship as \u201corganic.\u201d Hamas, he argued, is not merely inspired by the Brotherhood\u2019s ideology, it is an active part of its global network. Over time, however, Hamas has eclipsed the parent organization in both visibility and influence, thanks to its militant strategy and the Palestinian cause.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Maaytah, a powerful faction within the Jordanian Brotherhood holds decisive influence and maintains close ties with Hamas. These connections are both functional, through operational coordination, and institutional, particularly with Hamas offices based outside of Palestine, including in Qatar and Turkey. \u201cIn my view, Hamas, not the Brotherhood, is the biggest loser from the crackdown in Jordan,\u201d Maaytah emphasized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/31\/03\/2025\/syria-and-jordan-strengthen-border-security-amid-rising-challenges\/#\">Syria and Jordan Strengthen Border Security Amid Rising Challenges<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He explained that Hamas had long relied on the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood as a breathing space, leveraging the country\u2019s political openness and demographic realities. \u201cHamas benefited immensely from the Brotherhood\u2019s presence in Jordan,\u201d he said, \u201cespecially during and after the recent escalation in Gaza.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jordan\u2019s decision to ban the Muslim Brotherhood and halt its activities dealt a severe blow to Hamas\u2019s external operations, Maaytah noted, more so than to the Brotherhood itself. The group had used Jordan as a strategic hub, particularly as it faced bans or political marginalization in most Gulf states, Egypt, and other countries. Jordan, by contrast, had offered them room to maneuver, on the streets, in parliament, and within state institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But those days are ending. \u201cNow the walls are closing in,\u201d he said. \u201cThe Brotherhood is being squeezed across the region. This is a hard blow to their organizational reach.\u201d The most vocal dissent, Maaytah added, has come from the Brotherhood\u2019s reformist faction, closely tied to Hamas and its international network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jordan has fully committed to its course of action, he said, citing the judicial decision to ban the Brotherhood and implement associated legal measures. Still, the future of the Islamic Action Front remains uncertain. Final judgment may hinge on classified investigations or evidence seized during raids on party headquarters, or on developments from the ongoing State Security Court proceedings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Ideological Allegiances<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Palestinian political analyst Zaid Al-Ayoubi echoed the concerns, pointing out that Hamas has always been ideologically linked with the Brotherhood, not just in Palestine but across the region, particularly in Jordan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This ideological allegiance, Al-Ayoubi argued, has repeatedly led Hamas to meddle in Jordanian affairs, disregarding national sovereignty and overstepping the boundaries of diplomatic courtesy, even from countries that have long supported the Palestinian cause.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking to <\/span><b><i>+<\/i><\/b><b>963<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, he accused Hamas of weaponizing its ties to the Jordanian Brotherhood to incite public unrest and spread narratives that undermine Jordan\u2019s political stability. \u201cInstead of respecting Jordan\u2019s historic support for Palestine,\u201d he said, \u201cHamas has dragged Amman into dangerous political and security calculations that serve no one.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Read also: <a href=\"https:\/\/963media.com\/en\/20\/04\/2025\/abbas-in-damascus-protocol-visit-or-a-strategic-shift-in-the-palestinian-syrian-relations\/#\">Abbas in Damascus: Protocol Visit or a Strategic Shift in the Palestinian-Syrian Relations?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He continued: \u201cHamas bit the hand that fed it. Despite Jordan\u2019s sacrifices for the Palestinian cause, Hamas has turned into a disruptive force against Jordan\u2019s own stability. If they can\u2019t show loyalty to their closest allies, how can they be true to their people or their cause?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Al-Ayoubi concluded that Hamas\u2019s repeated provocations, often channeled through Brotherhood-linked media and political platforms, reveal a troubling prioritization of ideological allegiance over national or pan-Arab interests. \u201cIt\u2019s a dangerous deviation from the cause they claim to serve,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>The Brotherhood Mindset<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jordanian academic Dr. Amal Al-Jabour added that the Muslim Brotherhood is more than a political party, it is a social movement with deep roots in Jordanian civil life. Through charitable organizations, educational networks, and student unions, the group has embedded itself into the country\u2019s social fabric, even influencing religious and professional institutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In her remarks to <\/span><b>+963<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Dr. Al-Jabour highlighted that the Brotherhood\u2019s literature has always envisioned a borderless Islamic domain. Their core mission, she explained, is to seize power through religious legitimacy, ultimately aiming to establish a caliphate. \u201cIn this worldview,\u201d she noted, \u201cthe concept of the modern nation-state barely registers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She pointed to 1999 as a turning point when Jordan shut down Hamas\u2019s offices due to concerns about growing extremism within the group. Since then, the Brotherhood\u2019s relationship with the state has gone through multiple confrontations, most notably during the Teachers\u2019 Syndicate crisis, and recently in its attempt to leverage the Gaza conflict to stoke public emotion and assert political influence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe Brotherhood tried to force Jordan into a role that doesn\u2019t align with its national interests,\u201d Dr. Al-Jabour said. \u201cBut Jordan has made it clear: security and sovereignty come first.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The entrenched connection between the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas has brought Jordan face-to-face with a multi-layered confrontation, one entangled in regional, international, and domestic complexities, all heightened by the ongoing crisis in Gaza and its spillover effects.
