I have just posted my Middle East Week in Review news bulletin for the past week. This week’s bullet-points include links on Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Yemen, Iran and Australia.

I have a separate post, Abdullah’s Struggle With Islamic Terrorism, which is a follow-up to last week’s attacks in Amman. It focuses on the counter-terrorism angle, but some of the analysis is also relevant to why, despite having the Arab world’s most liberal ruler, Jordan has had very little democratic reform.
