Israel Jordan Peace Treaty
About the Israel Jordan Peace Treaty
Second Arab peace with Israel, Clinton witnessing Rabin and Hussein at Wadi Araba crossing. Border defined, water sharing of Jordan and Yarmouk, Israel recognized the special role of Jordan in the Muslim holy shrines of Jerusalem. Jordan became Israel security partner, intelligence cooperation deep. The treaty survived strains, Temple Mount crises, embassy to Jerusalem, but the cold domestic peace keeps it vulnerable. Gaza war pressures tested it again.
