- Summary:
- President Trump's proposal to resettle Gazans threatens Jordan's fragile balance, igniting protests and raising fears over national identity in a kingdom where most citizens are of Palestinian origin. With 2.39 million Palestinian and 650,000 Syrian refugees, Jordan is caught between Western alliances and regional solidarity. As tourism plummets, water scarcity worsens, and unemployment rises, the monarchy walks a tightrope. This documentary explores the kingdom's political, economic, and environmental vulnerabilities in the shadow of war.
