Hussein Was Set
to Take Israel Aid
in War, Book Says
LONDON (JTA)—King Hussein
of Jordan told Western diplomats
that he was prepared to accept
military help from Israel to prevent
the overthrow of his regime by
Palestinian guerrillas during the
Jordanian civil war last September,
according to a new book to be pub-
lished here shortly.
The book, "The Civil War in
Jordan and the Hijackings" was
written by Peter Snow, a television
commentator regarded as a Middle
East expert. Snow claimed that
King Hussein urged Western am-
bassadors to summon help and
told them he would not mind if
Israeli troops participated in an
expedition to help him preserve his
throne.
Questioned by the Jewish Tele-
graphic Agency, an Israeli foreign
office spokesman said, "We had
no requests by King Hussein to
pass on such a proposition to the
government of Israel." The spokes-
man did not deny, however, that
such a proposal had been made.
