The Husseins of Jordan Vis-a-Vis Israel's Role

W. McNichols

Editor The Jewish News:
(pp. 62-3) a letter from me
In the September issue of critical of the widespread use
"The Progressive" there is of the term "the Arab world"
as if it corresponds to an
historical fact, rather than a
mirage. he Royal Institute of
International Affairs publish-
ed a book, just before the
Six-Day (1967) War broke
out, "The Arab Cold War
1958-1967," by Malcolm Kerr.
According to this book, the
"cold war" was not against
Israel, which is hardly men-
tioned, but of Arab against
Arab.
On the last page, there is
reference to Egypts "hapless
allies," dragged into the war
against Israel "to which their
own rivalries had let them."
One such "hapless ally' was
Jordan. In my letter from
Jerusalem which you printed
on March 29 this year, there
is evidence that Syria does
not concede that "Palestine"
is anything but a part of Sy-
ria and that King Hussein's
Uniltt
claim to any part of it is an
usurpation.

him. In August, 1952, Hus-
sein became the King of the
Hashemite Kingdom of Jor-
dan but he did not exercise
his royal prerogatives until
he reached his 18th birthday.
In the Aug. 25, 1958
Washington Daily News, the
late Henry N. Taylor (later
killed in the Congo in the line
of duty as a newspaperman)
predicted that King Hussein
wouldn't last either. His cou-
sin King Faisal of Iraq had
just been assasinated with
other members of the Hashe-
mite family and the Prime
Minister. Jordan, which had
entered into A union with
Iraq was doomed to extinc-
tion, together with the Bagh-
dad Pact.
Lebanon was in such dan-
ger from other Arabs that
President Eisenhower sent
the Marines there, Britain
sent troops into Jordan,
flown over the skies of Is-
rael, which also allowed to
pass through the life-giving
fuel into Jordan, which oil-
rich Arab neighbors, includ-
ing the Saudi enemies of the
Hashemites, refused to let it.
In his book, "Uneasy Lies
the Heads' (1962) King Hus-
sein complains bitterly that
he had to be saved by the Is-
raeli "enemy' against the
knives of his Arab "broth-
ers."
In 1970, Syrian tanks
threatened King Hussein's
r u 1 e . The Aug. 18, 1974
Washington Post reports
King Hussein's denial . of the
claim in the book, "Kissing-
er," by Marvin and Bernard
Kalb, that in September,
1970, through the United
States, Jordan had request-
ed that Israel provide air
support against advancing
Syrian tanks. But Israel is
not his worst enemy.
In the September Com-
mentary magazine (letter,
page 30), Prof. Eugene . V.
Rostow, of the Yale Univer-
sity Law School, supports
the claim of Jordan, and, by
implication, King Hussein, to
be the only lawful authority
with which Israel can nego-
tiate, on "Palestine," which
includes both Israel and Jor-
dan, "the successor states to
the Ottoman (Turkish) Em-
pire within the territories of
the original Mandate (of the
League- of Nations).
The Security Council's de-
cisions require and authorize
Jordan and Israel, and no
one else, to define, secure
and recognized boundaries
between them, and, on that
basis, make peace. If special
arrangements for the auto-
nomy of the West Bank are
to be made, it is for Jordan
to do so, within the parts of
the area which are ultimate-
ly returned to its authority."
