Jordan: Pro-Palestinian rallies likely nationwide, particularly along areas of shared border with Israel Oct. 13

Event

Heightened security measures are likely across Jordan, but particularly its shared border with Israel, in response to ongoing and planned demonstrations that are taking place in solidarity with Palestine Oct. 13. The Jordanian military has deployed along areas of the border in response to protesters planning to gather there. Elsewhere in the country, demonstrations are likely to materialize in major cities such as Amman, Aqaba, and Maan.

Additional security force deployments and checkpoints are likely near Jordanian government interests, transport hubs, tourist sites, the shared border with Israel, and major thoroughfares. Officials could impose movement restrictive measures in response to developments. Clashes with protesters, especially along the border with Israel, cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid all demonstrations as a precaution. Exercise caution near protest sites. Heed the instructions of officials. Plan for localized road travel delays should protests occur.
