With that tight of a schedule you're probably best to base yourself in once place (I'd pick Jerusalem) and then just do excursions of Tel Aviv and Petra/Wadi Rum. Changing hotels literally every day you're there will be a huge waste of time.

Tel Aviv is a really cool place but there really isn't that much to see there. It's more of a chill at the beach during the day and party at night kind of city. It's literally an hour away from Jerusalem so you could possibly even just visit it for an afternoon and evening. Jerusalem really deserves more than just a day, it's arguably the most significant religious city in the world. If you are flying into Ben Gurion Airport it's technically in Tel Aviv but it's on the way to Jerusalem, so it won't make a huge difference where you stay your last night.

Amman is skippable, Nazareth is too far from the others. Masada I myself missed, but I think it's doable from Aqaba to Tel Aviv. Again don't underestimate the time it takes to get across the borders (you can only cross at two places btw).
