Importing Israeli gas will save Jordan $1.5 billion a year according to a report published yesterday on the Israeli financial website Globes.
From a technical standpoint, exporting gas to Jordan is the cheapest and quickest option, because the land-based gas pipeline that must be constructed for it is only a few kilometers long. The deal is also economically worthwhile for both sides. Jordan currently imports 97% of its energy, paying at least double what it would pay for Israeli gas. Estimates are that the Jordanian economy will save $1.5 billion a year by switching the purchase of Israeli gas. For their part, the Israeli gas partners will receive a higher price for the gas than they would have received in Israel.

Businesses as a group usually have considerable clout within a society to promote their interests. Most business (with the exception of a few such as the weapons industry) prefer a peaceful stable environment and it is in their interest to promote such an environment.
