Summary/Abstract: Contrary to the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty, the treaty between Israel and Jordan reflects aspects of normalization. Mechanisms for neighborly relations were established, and foundations for economic cooperation in the tourism industry were created. A new form of a friendly and robust relationship was established in 2014 with the Eilat project’s implementation, which allowed 2000 Jordanian citizens to work in the hospitality industry in Eilat, Israel. Security issues and fear of terror attacks, bureaucracy, nationality, and citizenship are still part of this sensitive endeavor; however, it seems that the two countries are headed towards a warmer peace.
