Suez Crisis with Jordan as the hostile actor

During the Suez Crisis, Israel played the role of hostile actor to give the British and French a pretext to move into Egypt.

What if the Negev and Gaza were Jordanian (think like the Peel lines) and Jordan was the hostile actor in the Suez crisis?

What would motivate Jordan to stick its neck out in this case?

Especially since you posit it having Gaza and Negev already.

I could *just* see Jordan deciding it has something to gain at Egypt's expense if it has some parts of Palestine and Egypt has others, like Gaza and Negev.

I originally thought this thread was about Jordan attacking Israel while Israel attacks Egypt. I can handle that with a separate thread.
