Recently, Palestine has been in trouble again, and Israel has begun to "move" again in the West Bank, once again attracting the attention of all countries in the world.
However, the outside world is strange, that is, there is no movement in nearby Jordan. Many people are surprised why the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is so strong, and Jordan, which is next to a river, has nothing happened.
In fact, Jordan's way of living is quite worthy of reference in the Middle East, especially in the "den of tigers and wolves". Although the country is small, its "energy" is not weak.
Looking at the map, Jordan's area is in the middle of the Middle East, but there is no one to mess with.
Syria to the north, Saudi Arabia to the south, Iraq and Palestine and Israel to the west.
It should be said that it is in a chaotic den, in addition to war, there are refugees, no matter how you look at it, it is not good to live.
However, to the surprise of the outside world, the Jordanian royal family was able to survive in this war-torn area. In contrast to Israel, which relies on absolute military power, people rely on flexible diplomacy.
Some people say that this is the unique survival method of the Jordanian royal family, and it is worth learning from those small countries in the "vortex".

The Jordanian royal family visited the United States some time ago, and the royal couple and their son the Crown Prince of Jordan followed, which is common in the Jordanian royal family.
In fact, Queen Rania is internationally known for being able to wear clothes, and knowing how to wear is one thing, and high exposure is also key. Follow my husband to visit at every turn, and show a wave of fashion from time to time.
Objectively speaking, she is good at wearing clothes of various colors, and her style is elegant and atmospheric.
Compared to other countries in the Middle East, Jordan should be said to be very secular, and it is rare to see queens wrapped in hijabs. So far, she has been wearing hair every time she appears, and she looks very beautiful.
She usually wears modern clothes and a simple and atmospheric style, and sometimes when I see this family, it is hard to believe that they are from the Middle East.
This time he came to the United States for a visit, and Rania was also remarkably dressed. Although the country is small, it is no worse than the first lady of the United States in terms of dressing.
In fact, Westerners have a great prejudice against the Middle East, but they don't have much opinion about Jordan. It is invisibly beneficial to Jordan's foreign environment.
Rania has a nickname called "Diana of the Middle East", which means that she has good clothes and good looks. In fact, the first lady is very helpful in improving the country's "soft power".
The queen often participates in some international conferences, which is also a wave of presence, which invisibly improves Jordan's status.
The husband and wife often go out hand in hand, especially in large countries, and it feels like clocking in.
The attendance rate outside the Jordanian royal is quite high, and going to the United States is the same as home. It may seem a little backwards, but it is really useful to be able to pull relationships with each other.
From an economic point of view, Jordan is not a very rich country, but thanks to good relations with major countries, it has received foreign aid.
Establishing good relations with other countries in the international community is a good thing for Jordan, with fewer enemies and no targeting.

We all know that the Middle East is a powder keg, and various countries are making a lot of noise because of their religious beliefs. But every time Jordan is always outside, other countries don't target it much.
A large reason is that the Jordanian royal family is noble, like a superior person, like "Jerusalem". The royal family belongs to the Hashemite family, and has made military achievements in the process of Arab national independence, and the public opinion base is very high.
In addition, Jordan's army is Bedouin, and the royal family belongs to the same ethnic group, and the two are inseparable to some extent. Don't worry about betrayal, there is a great deterrent effect.
Other countries also have great respect for the Jordanian royal family, after all, they do not look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha.
Although he is of noble blood, Jordan does not have much rejection of other ethnic groups, and Christian churches can be seen here. It belongs to the kind of left and right, and it can indeed reduce some political opponents.
Don't look at the country as small, but people are not afraid of things. When Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq was overthrown, the surrounding countries did not dare to accept her family, only Jordan dared to receive it, and took good care of this family.
For those "terrorists" looking for trouble, they also dare to fight back, and they are not afraid of things at critical moments.
In the turmoil over the severance of diplomatic relations in Qatar, many countries in the Middle East have chosen to follow Saudi Arabia for various reasons. At such a time, the Jordanian royal family did not blindly follow, but only lowered its diplomatic rank.
Compared with other countries, the handling is still relatively smooth, but it is not completely "frozen"!

In fact, in order to live in the area for a long time, the Jordanian royal family is also good at resolving disputes with other countries.
Because of Princess Haya's divorce, it and the UAE fell into a cold period for a long time. At one point, it affected the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and in fact, when helping Haya at that time, Jordan ZF also did not approve of support.
However, the king still considered from the perspective of brothers and sisters and helped in time, but it did not mean abandoning the relationship between the two countries.
On February 26, 2022, the Rania couple visited the UAE and received a humanitarian award from the UAE. In other words, this means that the relations between the two countries have eased and the past grievances have been erased.
Objectively speaking, the Jordanian royal family is really smooth in dealing with national affairs. However, it does not mean that it is afraid of things, the royal family is very strict with future generations. Even the princess had to undergo militarization training from an early age to cultivate a strong character.
Of course, they will also use marriage to maintain the relationship, when Princess Haya married to Dubai, objectively speaking, this move is not wrong. After the marriage, the UAE became Jordan's largest investor, and Jordan benefited a lot from it, of course, divorce is an afterword.
Perhaps learning from the past, when sons and daughters are engaged, they are businessmen. At the very least, this can avoid some disputes, and will not be as embarrassed as Princess Haja. Like the crown prince's fiancée Rajwa, the daughter of a businessman, she does not have such a complicated background.
For the future heir, the royal family also attaches great importance to it, and usually the king and his wife will take him out with them when they go out to visit. To put it bluntly, it is to expand his contacts and facilitate his future dealings with Western countries.
brief summary
Frankly speaking, Jordan is the only "pure land of peace" in the Middle East, and its people live in peace. Being able to do this is inseparable from the silent efforts of the royal family over the years, and it is worth learning from those "small countries".
Of course, the country's soft power is also not to be underestimated, and Jordan's Queen Rania has a good international image, which is also of great help to win the support of Western countries.
