The Middle East is a crossroad for three continents and is one of ‘hottest’ zones in the world. Since the early years of the last century, after more than eighty years of conflict and three main wars, the Arabs and the Jews have endured bitter trials and tribulations. As a result of the military conflicts, around one million Palestinians were forced to leave their homes, properties and country, and seek refuge elsewhere. The current article focuses on the situation of the Palestinian community in Jordan - which has taken Jordanian citizenship at the early fifties - from political and economic points of view while discussing security issues. However, since the state as refugees experienced by Palestinians since 1948, and in addition the continual Israeli occupation since 1967, the issue of the refugees did not come to an end. The importance of the Refugee Question is emphasized as one of the major elements of stability in the Middle East. It is argued, that without settling this issue - which cannot be suppressed neither by force nor by neglect - the Middle East would continue to be unstable.
