Ben-Gvir claims both sides of Jordan river belong to ‘Israel’ after King Abdullah’s UN speech
Note: AI technology was used to generate this article’s audio.
‘Israeli’ far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir posted an AI-generated video of the Jordanian army with a song claiming that both sides of the Jordan River belong to ‘Israel’.
The move follows growing anger among ‘Israeli’ right-wing factions over a speech by King Abdullah II of Jordan at the United Nations, combined with recent proposals by opposition politician Avigdor Liberman advocating that Jordan assume control over parts of the West Bank.
The AI-generated video includes footage presented as showing the Jordanian Armed Forces and King Abdullah II, set to Jabotinsky’s Revisionist Zionist anthem, “Shtei Gadot La’Yarden” (“Two Banks Has the Jordan River”).

The song explicitly declares that both the west and east banks of the Jordan River belong to ‘Israel’.
“This one is ours, and that one too,” it says.
The ad attacks Yisrael Beiteinu leader Avigdor Liberman, labeling him "dangerous to Israel," before displaying an image of Ben-Gvir alongside the party's slogan, "He who believes is not afraid".
The controversy stems from an interview given by Liberman to the religious-nationalist outlet Besheva, where he suggested that Tel Aviv enter an agreement with Amman to form an "Israeli-Jordanian confederation".
Under Liberman's proposal, Jordan would take administrative and security responsibility over Areas A and B of the West Bank to fill the governance void left by the Palestinian Authority.
Liberman's comments drew condemnation across ‘Israel’s’ political spectrum.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and coalition ministers criticized the idea of bringing Jordanian forces or administration into the West Bank.
Ben-Gvir personally mocked the proposal, stating that what he calls “Judea and Samaria” are "parts of our homeland" rather than a package to be transferred away.
In his address at the UN General Assembly, the King condemned ‘Israeli’ actions in Gaza and the West Bank, warning against forced displacement and asserting that Jordan would protect its borders and national interests.
