“Especially during challenging times, the strategic treaty remains a cornerstone of regional stability and a solid platform for future mutually beneficial initiatives,” it added.

Relations have nonetheless been strained. Last month, Israel’s Foreign Ministry sharply criticized Jordan’s King Abdullah II after he accused Israel of pursuing expansionist policies during a U.N. General Assembly address, urging countries to consider sanctions, embargoes and diplomatic isolation. The ministry accused Jordan of hypocrisy, citing its 1988 decision to revoke the citizenship of Palestinians living in Judea and Samaria.
