Is Israel and Jordan safe at the moment?

My sister has extreme eczema, the kind where she can't have public jobs because her face looks like a burn victim and her arms and legs like alligator skin. She cannot do things like wash dishes or use soap.
Anyway, she went to the Caribbean last year to a resort that had a fresh saltwater pool (i.e., a pool that had just basically filtered seawater).
She was terrified of going into the pool because she can't swim in any pool (or even take a bath) without her condition going super-painfully-severe immediately.
But she finally did, and was SO GLAD.
It worked wonders for her.
So you do not have to go to Jordan; just go to the Caribbean, and choose a hotel that has one of those pools.

I must admit it was no permanent miracle cure! Her problem can't be cured by a week in such water, but she felt relief from her (admittedly extreme variety) problem, which lasted through the night/mornings between soaks, and she felt (and we saw) some visible improvement for a few weeks after.
But people she's talked to with milder forms have said there was more long-lasting effects for them :).
