Abstract

Israel and Jordan can best be described as “the friendliest of enemies” since the creation of the Jordanian entity in 1921. Both had a common protector—the British Mandatory regime over Palestine; both had a common enemy—radical Palestinian nationalism, initially headed by the Mufti of Jerusalem and after 1968 by the head of the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) Yasser Arafat. In spite of fighting two major wars, in 1948 and 1967, their leaders kept in touch and sought to reach a modus vivendi that finally became a peace treaty signed in 1994 to which both parties adhere to this very day.
