AMMAN: Jordan's King Abdallah said Monday that Israel was emerging a loser as a result of the Arab Spring. He pledged that his country would fight against Israeli machinations in Jordan.

"During my recent visit to the United States, an Israeli intellectual told me that Israel stands to benefit from what is going on in Arab countries. I replied that the opposite is correct because Israel's standing is becoming more difficult than before," he added.
