As the situation unfolds after more than five decades of dictatorship, the Biden administration recognizes both the opportunities and risks presented by this sudden power shift. President Biden recently communicated with Jordan's King Abdullah, emphasizing the importance of collaboration with regional leaders amid ongoing conversations.

However, there are concerns about potential power vacuums that may arise in the absence of a unified government.
