A senior Israeli official said Friday that Israel will intervene militarily in case of invasion of Jordan by the terrorist organization of the Islamic State (EI).
"We will use the means necessary," said the senior Israeli official at the TV station Channel 2 "Let me make this clear: if the Islamic state reached Jordan we vote," said he added .
The appearance of troops in June of IE, near the Jordanian border, worried at the highest point the Hashemite kingdom. King Abdullah II called on the international community to support his regime against the jihadist threat.
"Israel will not allow groups like the EI take control of Jordan," he assured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, promising to provide "all necessary assistance" to his closest ally in the region.
According to a Western diplomat quoted by Reuters, Israel recently sent to its American ally satellites and various information images on the Islamic state , which almost immediately was shared with Turkey and several Arab states.
Thursday, ten Arab countries, in addition to Jordan, agreed to engage with the United States in the fight against the terrorist organization that controls large parts of Iraq and Syria. This is Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait, Qatar, Oman, Egypt, Iraq and Lebanon.
