We first want to assure people that we are fine here in Jordan. The Gaza situation has impacted us in only very small ways. A large percentage (somewhere between 40% to 80% depending on whom you ask) of Jordanians are of Palestinian descent and so this is a country paying close attention to the attacks in Gaza.
This weekend, Dan helped evacuate some Americans who had been in Gaza. Across Amman there have been a large number of peaceful demonstrations that we have stayed clear of. Most New Years Eve celebrations were cancelled in Amman as they were in many Arab cities.
