Aaron is the first journalist to give us a deep-dive into his new book, which covers the life and political ascension of Jordan’s King Abdullah. Aaron and I also talk about Jordan’s limitations in helping the Palestinians, Jordan’s relationship with Israel and the U.S, and Jordan’s active suppression of pro-Palestine activism in the kingdom.

If you enjoyed the show, subscribe to my Youtube channel and purchase Aaron’s book here on Amazon.
