The fascinating, true account of the quest for one of the Old Testament's most infamous cities. Like many modern-day Christians, Dr. Steven Collins struggled with what seemed to be a clash between his belief in the Bible and the research regarding ancient history - a crisis of faith that inspired him to put both his education and the Bible to the test by embarking on an expedition that has led to one of the most exciting finds in recent archaeology.

For decades, American policymakers have come to view the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan as an indispensable ally in the Middle East, committing billions of taxpayer dollars to support Jordan's budget, economy, and military. Indeed, Jordan's Peace Treaty with Israel; its strategic position between Israel, Iraq, Syria, and Saudi Arabia; and its pro-American military and intelligence services remain critical to U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.

Of the two neighboring Arab countries upholding their peace accords with Israel, Jordan is always of more concern to strategic planners in Tel Aviv and their Cabinet in Jerusalem. Egypt's mainland is far away across the Sinai Desert, and its regime seems relatively safe. But the Hashemite Kingdom has to contend with a Palestinian majority, cells of Jihadi groups, a vocal opposition to the economic policies of King Abdullah II, and security problems in nearby southern Syria. Israel has excellent working relations between its military and intelligence agencies and their Jordanian ones, and it has done its share to alleviate the chronic water problem from which arid Jordan suffers, but there is constant fear west of the river that the Hashemite dynasty is just one bullet away from being toppled - leaving Israel vulnerable along its backbone. Can Israel bank on the East Bank to remain quiet?

Ben Caspit speaks this week with former ambassador Dr. Haim Koren. The former envoy to Egypt and South Sudan says that all Israeli governments, including the new government under the leadership of Naftali Bennett, have been and are interested in preserving and developing strategic relations with Jordan. "I expect that doubling the quantity of water [annually sold by Israel to Jordan] would be the first step in strengthening these relations." Koren adds the Palestinian issue is important for improving relations with the Hashemite Kingdom, and that King Abdullah intends to raise the issue in his upcoming meeting with President Joe Biden on July 19. Koren notes that even before the Abraham Accords, the Arab world was signaling to Israel that any advancement on the 2003 Saudi/Arab Peace Initiative should facilitate advancing other regional issues.

The alleged coup attempt in Jordan last month briefly placed the Hashemite Kingdom at the forefront of the news.

How vital is Jordan’s stability to the region? After the Abraham Accords, what is Jordan’s role in diplomacy? What happens to Jordan if Israel diminishes its role in Jerusalem?

For the second time in Israel's seemingly interminable election cycle, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has deployed the possibility of Jordan Valley annexation as way to rally support — even if Israel's security and relationship with the neighboring Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan suffer because of it. All the while, the United States appears more deferential on annexation than ever before. Will Bibi really exploit this so-called "historic opportunity?" How will the Jordanians and Palestinians react? And will the Trump administration give the Israelis the coveted green light on formally absorbing the Jordan Valley? Hosts Evan Gottesman and Margaux Nijkerk explore these questions with Ofer Zalzberg, senior analyst in the International Crisis Group's Arab-Israel Project.Support the show (http://support.israelpolicyforum.org/donate)

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which is almost landlocked and has a demographic majority of citizens of Palestinian origin, has traditionally being considered one of the more fragile of the Arab countries, yet in recent years, it has been surprisingly resilient while its neighbors succumbed to domestic and regional turmoil.

Nestled in the heart of the Middle East, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has played a pivotal role in the struggle for peace in the region. While neighboring Syria, Israel, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia have attracted an array of headlines—from sectarian disputes to proxy wars and social media revolutions—Jordan has not gone unscathed from the tensions surrounding it. Terrorist networks, the bordering Israel-Palestine conflict, and the Syrian civil war have burdened the country's borders, resources, and security. Notably, it has become central to hosting Syrian refugees, with the Zaatari camp now Jordan's fourth largest city. Yet, despite nearby turmoil, the Hashemite Kingdom continues to engage in strategic partnerships with adjoining countries and maintain strong relations with the United States. Jordanian journalist Rana F. Sweis portrays the intricacies and complexities of life in Jordan and the Middle East.

During the course of our journey through the royal Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan we recorded the likes of Petra, the Gulf of Aqaba and the Wadi Rum. We saw ancient Roman cities and citadels. But nothing confounded us as much as the ancient riddle, “What’s a souk?”

Dr Katie A. Paul discusses work by the Antiquities Coalition to bring together the international community to protect heritage. Work completed so far includes policy recommendations, information tools, conferences, and the building of a Task Force. Since the 2011 Arab Spring, throughout the Middle East and North Africa, heritage is increasingly being used as terrorist financing tool and weapon of war. Some of the world’s most iconic ancient sites and masterpieces have now been lost to armed conflict, targeted destruction, and organized plunder. While the crisis seems overwhelming, the world is fighting back. This September in Amman, 17 MENA nations will come together at the Second Annual #CultureUnderThreat Conference, hosted by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. This ministerial summit is part of a continuing global initiative launched by the Antiquities Coalition, a nongovernmental organization based in Washington, DC. Since its creation in 2014, the Antiquities Coalition has worked to build the political will needed to fight cultural racketeering, while supporting actions by policymakers, governments, and art market players working to achieve this same goal. This presentation will review the Antiquities Coalition’s #CultureUnderThreat programs, including its ministerial summits in the Middle East and North Africa, as well as an international experts’ task force to develop solutions to the ongoing crisis, and efforts to raise awareness of cultural racketeering in the region and beyond

Curt and Face2Face host David Peck talk about Syrians as newcomers to Canada, mentorship, giving back and about Syrians helping Syrians.   For more information about QuestScope go here.   Biography Curt Rhodes has spent over 30 years working with, and on behalf of, marginalized communities and young people across the Middle East. As the recipient of the 2014 Dr. Jean Mayer Global Citizenship Award, Dr. Rhodes was recognized by Tufts University for his demonstrated compassion and tenacity in creating a highly effective and determined organization dedicated to the survival and nurturing of the most vulnerable and disenfranchised. In recognition of his work through Questscope with marginalized youth in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and in the region, Dr. Rhodes was awarded 2011 Social Entrepreneur of the Year for the Middle East and North Africa by the Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship.  Dr. Rhodes began his career in the Middle East in the early Eighties, as Assistant Dean in the School of Public Health at the American University of Beirut. During the 1982 invasion of (west) Beirut, he volunteered in a community-based clinic alongside students and friends, doing around-the-clock triage for wounded and ill civilians. That was when the seed idea for Questscope began to take shape. Living and working with people in great suffering compelled him to find a way that he and others in the Middle East could assist the most vulnerable: participating with the voiceless ones in invisible communities. In 1988, Questscope was founded with the goal of putting the last, first. From the beginning, Questscope worked closely with local communities, identifying their aspirations and together addressing their greatest needs.  ----------   For more information about my podcasting, writing and public speaking please visit my site here.   With thanks to producer Josh Snethlage and Mixed Media Sound.

The Annual Harrell-Bond Lecture, given by Her Royal Highness Princess Basma bint Talal on 5 November 2014 at the University of Oxford Examination Schools. The communities comprising the modern Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan have a long history as refugee hosts. Currently, 20 per cent of the residents of Jordan are refugees and asylum seekers from all over the world. Her Royal Highness Princess Basma bint Talal examines the ways in which earlier refugee communities' experience of displacement itself contributed to their integration within the developing Jordanian state. Princess Basma discusses the ways in which Jordan's Circassian, Chechen and Armenian communities have negotiated different aspects of their specific identities and integrated in Jordan, considering the role of forced migration itself in creating identities. Jordan's own experience demonstrates how policies that engage and include refugee communities can have positive outcomes for both sides, creating peaceful and productive coexistence.

What are the roots and the future of Arab politics and the unrest in the region? How will democracy evolve in such a diverse landscape? What is the future of political Islam? Is there a positive role for the West to play in the reconstruction and state-building of the new Arab world?SpeakersShadi Hamid, Director of Research at the Brookings Doha Center and a fellow at the Saban Center for Middle East Policy at the Brookings InstitutionMarwan Muasher, former Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan; Vice President of Studies, Carnegie Endowment for International PeaceJanine Zacharia (moderator), Carlos Kelly McClatchy Visiting Lecturer, Department of Communications, Stanford University

In his presentation, Amb. Dore Gold discusses the three main undercurrents of the fight for Jerusalem. The first is the positive undercurrent of Israel's legal rights to Jerusalem, specifically after the War of Independence in 1948 and the Six Day War in 1967. The first war liberated Jerusalem from the hostilities that were occurring from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The Six Day War recaptured the Old City and unified Jerusalem. In terms of international rights, Amb. Gold discusses Resolution 242 which does not call for full Israeli withdrawal or restoration of the pre-war situation. The international community recognized that returning to a pre-war Jerusalem was not ideal as Jerusalem had been illegally seized by Jordan and there was a lack of religious freedom.
