The critical route for Jordan is in red. It
is possible to construct routes that
avoid Jordan completely (eastern
purple route or moving the northern
purple route entirely into Syria).  
Likewise, the red route can be shifted
west so that it is entirely within Israel.
No maglevs, no Jordan. It is that
simple.
