Jordan's king Abdullah II has dismissed his government answering to the wave of street protests and has been negotiating with an ex-army general to form a new Cabinet.

The decision comes after almost five thousand Jordanians called for the resignation of Prime Minister Samir Rifai and accused his government of rising prices in fuel and food, inflation and unemployment, whilst not sowing a political and economic transformation in the country.

Two million of Egyptians stand against Mubarak dictatorship

In Egypt, the fall of the president seems to be a matter of time, the army refused to suppress and control and the Tharis Square, in Cairo, now renamed as "Freedom Square", united about a million Egyptians from all classes and origins with a single purpose: the change of the regime and the establishment of a real political democracy and free elections. Until then the country has stopped and so did the stock markets. But behind the closed curtains, USA and EU take a look on all the moves and make pressure for a calm and respectful "transition regime" process of their old strategic partner country.

 The most evident face of the opposition to take over the control in the interim of the post-Mubarak is the diplomat Mohamed ElBaradei, former president of the International Atomic Energy Agency and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, who also seems to have the support of the Muslim Brotherhood organization.

Meanwhile, in Jerusalem, Israeli officials declared to have agreed to let Egypt move two battalions of troops into the Sinai Peninsula for the first time since the countries reached peace three decades ago. Alarmed by the instability of their southern neighbor, Israeli officials alleged to be particularly apprehensive that Palestinian militants could try to smuggle weapons into the Gaza Strip through tunnels under the Egypt-Gaza border during this period.
