In a deal that will allow Israel to stop violating Lebanese airspace on a regular basis (if they do is another matter), Jordan has agreed two open two airspace corridors to Israeli planes and drones through their country.
The two corridors are meant to give Israel access to Syria for the purposes of drone surveillance, but Jordan has also agreed that Israel can use them to attack Syria in the future if they choose.
The deal reportedly came at the behest of US President Barack Obama, who pressed Jordan’s King to allow Israel the access. Jordan has also been hosting a growing US military presence along the Syrian border, currently focused on training rebels but also with an eye on a ground invasion to “secure” Syria’s chemical weapons.
Previous Israeli attacks on Syria have used southern Lebanon’s airspace, though naturally without the Lebanese government’s permission. Such overflights have been a regular source of condemnation from UN troops deployed to southern Lebanon to oversee the periods between Israeli invasions.
Abdullah has got to go – he's as bad an Israeli Lobby puppet as Mubarak
doubtful the King would survive a palestinian uprising. It could be far uglier than Egypt. Israel is dommed with its colonial project
Wow and go figure. The frogman king of Jordan is a servile Amerikan stooge. Not surprising really.
Zionists own Washington and Washington controls Jordan via foreign aid, economic and military leverage, and diplomatic power. Corruption from the top down. Jordan is a pathetic vassal State.
This is Jordan kring desperate act is in fact knowing that its kingdom is at strake, knowing that kings have to obey the rules in bing a lapdog regime…, otherwise…., the very friend of this and other kings will throw them out the car while driving them to pet store to be vaccinated for rabbis.
Likely they are invited to use it to attack Iran too. It is the same deal, and ought to be arranged at the same time.
Meanwhile, the article here from the NYT about Israel not getting the weapons to attack Iran is misleading. They got the tankers and the anti-radar missiles and new electronics. Once they have all that up and running, flying in some bombs is no big deal.
Between the Jordan deal and the tanks, missiles, and electronics, they are well on their way to an attack on Iran.
I beg to disagree, because:

I suppose we were hoaxed by FSA-Al Nusra into believing this. Remember, actually FSA-Al Nusra is on the run in Syria, because they are receiving a substantial clobbing by the regular Syrian Army.
They desparately need good news to keep their fleeing combatants' moral upbeat, or else…
Interesting. Still, obvious Jordanian ambivalence helps mud the waters.
I tend to agree with you that the report is bogus because Israel has a common border with Syria through the Golan Heights as you can see clearly from the map above. Why would Israel have to fly through Jordan to reach Syria?
Jordan`s king will end up like gadaffi.
abdullah SHOULD end up like gadaffi
Jordan got no say for opening their air space. Of course Israeli jet fighters will not attack the Syrian army but they will bomb the Free Syrian Army. What a naïve comments we got here. Real uneducated communist leftist liberals who are supporting the massacres committed against the Syrian people by Israel, Iran, Russia, Hezbollah, The Iraqi Mehdi thugs and of course the United Snakes of America. I've been telling you idiots here why the hell Israel got 200 companies working in Iran. They control 80% of the businesses there. Iran gate is not too old to forget. Come on guys. back in 2009 Avigdor Lieberman the foreign minister of Israel and the foreign minister of Iran were wining and dining with king Abdullah of Jordan at his palace. This site smells dung
Two countries openly, blatantly agreeing on the possible attack against a third confirms UN is a dead organization. If history matters, this is a relevant sign world war approaches.
Exactly, we are in a world that is going by the pre-WWI rules, and that is a very dangerous place to be.
betrayal again by 'arab brothers' for a little $
"Israel Can Use Airspace to Attack Syria " and Israel can use its military to kill American citizens e.g. Rachel Corrie and Turkish citizens and so on..yet the herd lost-and-blind iin America dont seem to care.
