As the River Jordan forms the eastern border of Israel, and the western border of Jordan, to claim that one country would have total control over an entire river is incorrect. Traditionally, it was under the control of the Israelites, however, in more modern times, it has remained under joint control.

No. According to international law, no country "owns" a river. The right of navigation on a river is subject to the sovereignty of the river. A river that is entirely within the borders of one country is subject to that country's sovereignty. As the Jordan River forms the border between two states, neither can impose sovereignty over the river and, therefore, Israel and Jordan share administration of the Jordan River.
