Jordan's decision to ban the activities of the Muslim Brotherhood marks a turning point in the country's political history. The ban comes after a foiled plot involving the manufacture of rockets by individuals linked to the group. The Brotherhood has played a paradoxical role in Jordan, both collaborating with the monarchy and causing ideological friction. The ban has reignited debates domestically, with some arguing for stability and others warning against conflating dissent with subversion. Regionally, Jordan's decision aligns it with other countries that have taken aggressive stances against Islamist movements.
