#1 They already have a peace agreement, signed in 1994. Why should they sign another one?

Wikipedia:

The Israel–Jordan peace treaty (formally the "Treaty of Peace Between the State of Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan"),[Note 1] sometimes referred to as the Wadi Araba Treaty,[1] is an agreement that ended the state of war that has existed between the two countries since the 1948 Arab–Israeli War and established mutual diplomatic relations. In addition to establishing peace between the two countries, the treaty also settled land and water disputes, provided for broad cooperation in tourism and trade, and obligated both countries to prevent their territory being used as a staging ground for military strikes by a third country.
The signing ceremony took place at the southern border crossing of Arabah on 26 October 1994. Jordan was the second Arab country, after Egypt, to sign a peace accord with Israel.[2]

From the article:

While Jordan has leveraged its peace with Israel to become a top trading partner with the United States, significantly improving its economy, under the leadership of King Abdullah II bin Al-Hussein, who came to power in 1999, Jordan has been much more willing to lash out at the Jewish state.

"Driven by a combination of domestic political considerations, unrealistic expectations, and both legitimate and illegitimate grievances, Amman has pulled away from Israel in recent years," according to the report. "The official rhetoric about Israel has grown increasingly negative, if not vitriolic."

The problem is Jordan, not Israel. It sure looks like King Abdullah II wants to win the war against Israel by peaceful means. He and his father have refused to take over the West Bank because they don’t want more Palestinians causing more problems, but they also don’t want Israel to solve the problems.
