Over 100,000 Arabs have left Yesha in the past nine months, the large majority of them to Jordan. As a result, it has been reported that Jordan has closed its borders to Palestinians from Judea, Samaria, and Gaza - but Jordan denies this. Some 200 Arabs were delayed on their way into Jordan from Israel yesterday, and in fact aides to King Abdullah say they do not want a repeat of 1948, when 250,000 Arabs from Yesha entered Jordan.



In addition, Jordan is not allowing Hamas spokesman Ibrahim Roshe to enter the country. He was expelled from Jordan almost two years ago, and now his second-choice country, Qatar, also no longer wants him.
