King Hussein's authority
appears to be crumbling
under the weight of the po-
litical and economic strains
imposed on his kingdom by
the Gulf crisis.
There is concern that a col-
lapse of the Hashemite
throne, which is now regard-
ed as almost certain, could
provide Saddam Hussein
with the pretext for sending
his troops into Jordan — to
the tumultuous approval of
the overwhelming majority
of Jordanians.
The most dramatic
evidence of King Hussein's
diminishing control over his
army and his people is the
growing number of incur-
sions into Israel across its
long and vulnerable frontier
with Jordan in recent weeks,
a border that King Hussein
has succeeded in keeping
relatively quiet over the past
20 years.
According to one source,
the anti-Israel sentiment on
the streets of Jordan, which
has witnessed pro-Iraq dem-
onstrations by tens of
thousands of Jordanians
over the past three months,
is unprecedented in its
ferocity.
Israeli sources believe that
the king is totally unable to
stem the passions and to
calm the current storm. His
control over the army is
weakening and his position
is being increasingly
undermined by radical na-
tionalists and religious fun-
damentalists.
In addition, his domestic
predicament is being
undermined by rising prices
of consumer goods and the
paralysis of the phosphate
industry, which was his
principal export commodity.
All this is exacerbated by
the presence of tens of
thousands of Asians who
have streamed into Jordan
from Kuwait and, with
unemployment running at
35 percent, the growing
burden of having to re-
absorb 100,000 Jordanian
workers who have returned
to the kingdom from Iraq
and Kuwait since the start of
the crisis.
The serious economic
predicament has been com-
pounded by the fact that, in
giving qualified support to
Saddam, whom he fears as a
potential predator, King
Hussein has forfeited all the
Arab aid he had previously
received.
Israeli security forces
along the border with Jor-
dan have been placed on a
state of high alert following
two incursions this month in
which two Israeli soldiers
were killed.
According to one military
source, "appropriate mea-
sures" have been taken to
prevent further infiltrations.
He said that reservists who
normally man the border
have been augmented by an
unspecified number of elite
troops, further straining the
increasingly scarce man-
power resources which have
been deployed to contain the
Palestinian uprising.
In addition, security forces
on the Israeli-Jordanian
border have now been sup-
plied with night-vision
equipment and early warn-
ing devices, as well as
enhanced weapons.
The other source of anxiety
for Israel is its northern
border with Lebanon, where
the previously competing
Moslem militias have mend-
ed their fences and are re-
ported to be leaving Beirut
and regrouping near the
Lebanese-Israeli frontier,
within striking distance of
the Israeli-proclaimed
security zone which is pa-
trolled by Israeli forces and
by Israel's local ally, the
South Lebanon Army.
The coming weeks could
prove to be the most momen-
tous in the 42-year history
Israel. ❑

A Stone
For A Stone
Tel Aviv (JTA) — The
Israel Defense Force has
unveiled its latest weapon
against the intifada — a 66-
pound "gravel gun" design-
ed to fight stones with
stones.
The lightweight cannon
mounted on a jeep, which
can spew egg-size stones at a
rate of 600 per minute at a
range of about 250 feet, was
demonstrated this week for
IDF and police officers, who
apparently were favorably
impressed.
Defense Minister Moshe
Arens ordered the new riot-
control weapon into immed-
iate use.
The projectiles emerge
from a cone-shaped muzzle
in a scattershot pattern,
ideal for dispersing large
crowds.
According to some officers
who watched the demonstra-
tion, its very presence
should be enough to deter
riots.
Because the cannon can be
mounted on a jeep, it is ac-
cessible to the narrow
streets and alleys of towns in
the West Bank and Gaza
Strip. An earlier model
mounted on a half-track did
