Jordanian Parliament approves largest military budget in the country's history, worth $2 billion. Military expert believes that the possibility of a regional conflict erupting in the Middle East, on the Jordanian border, or the occurrence of military or security developments requires the Kingdom to increase the military budget.
Finance Minister Muhammad Al-Issis stressed that "the preparation of the draft law came under unprecedented circumstances as a result of the Israeli aggression against Gaza and the occupied West Bank" Economic expert Amer Al-Shobaki confirmed that threats on the northern border with Syria and the western border with the Israeli occupation contributed to raising the financial costs of the Jordanian Armed Forces.
