We went to Israel and Jordan a few weeks ago. Despite the Gaza 'war', we never felt threatened at any point. Of course, when traveling to this region, you have to keep up on the news.
Most amazing places: Old City Jerusalem (a 1 km square maze of twisty little passages and tremendously historic places), and Petra (hundreds of tombs carved out of the cliffs, the two most impressive shown below).
The Treasury at Petra (no Grail or Indy in sight):
The Monastery at Petra (that's my wife trying to climb into the entrance):
Dome of the Rock, Jerusalem (no unbelievers allowed any more):
Western Wall, Jerusalem (just after Shabbat):
