Jordan holding 'significant' arms cache earmarked for PA but blocked by Israel

Jordan is holding a significant quantity of arms intended for Palestinian Authority (PA) security forces, which Israel is refusing to allow into the occupied West Bank. The weapons are from US-led 'live fire' training exercises conducted in Jordan to prepare PA forces for a potential security role in Gaza, with a focus on counterterrorism. Because Israel's Cogat is blocking the weapons' return, the US military gives them to the Jordanians, which one US official called an "added bonus" for the kingdom. This situation highlights the logistical challenges and Israeli control that could affect any future international stabilization force in Gaza.
