'Arab-change is not good for Israel'

[Except in Syria]

"Lack of stability in Amman!" 

"... Speaking on condition of anonymity the Israeli officials told the newspaper that the Hashemite Kingdom is about to face a real test and decision-makers in Tel Aviv need to deal with this seriously. They added that the whole region is unstable so this is not the right time for the Palestinian Authority of Mahmoud Abbas to go to the United Nations for recognition. Such a move, they believe, will only add to the instability across the Middle East.
'Arab-change is not good for Israel'
The media report noted that Benjamin Netanyahu's government has decided not to respond formally to comments by Jordan's King Abdullah II, who said earlier in the week that Israel is facing a more difficult situation after the outbreak of Arab uprisings and the future for Jordan and Palestine is stronger than Israel's. "Israelis," said the King, "are the ones who are afraid today." In a speech to intellectuals and academics in Amman, King Abdullah added, "When I was in the United States an Israeli intellectual told me that what is happening in Arab countries today is in the best interest of Israel, but I replied to the contrary, as Israel's situation today is more difficult than ever before."..."
