Jordan Uses Carrot,
Leaves Stick To Israel
HELEN DAVIS

September 21, 1987
Israeli troups on patrol: Under an informal arrangement, Jordan will woo
Palestinian loyalties while leaving pacification to Israel.
I
sraelis who regularly
watch Jordan Television
have noticed a curious
change in the presentation of
the weather forecast which
follows the nightly "News at
Ten."
In addition to predictions
for the Jordanian regions of
Amman, Irbid, Petra and
Akaba, the state-controlled
TV channel now provides
forecasts for Nablus,
Ramallah, Bethlehem,
Jericho and Gaza — major
Arab cities in the areas under
Israeli occupation.
This new departure was
unannounced and remains
unexplained — a curiosity to
Jordanians perhaps, but a
clear signal to Israelis of yet
another incremental step in a
policy that is becoming
increasingly visible.
For what is emerging on the
West Bank and Gaza is an
informal, functional
condominium between Israel
and Jordan, whereby Israel
retains physical control of the
territories, while King
Hussein becomes the primary
focus of political allegiance
for the 1.3 million Palestinian
inhabitants.
Such an arrangement pre-
cisely suits the present needs
of Hussein, who would be
hard pressed to cope with a
formal settlement that
involves incorporating large
chunks of the territories and
all their inhabitants into-
Jordan.
Instead, Hussein seems to
be pursuing a policy, with
Israeli acquiescence, that
contains two elements he
regards as essential to
Jordan's security: Winning
the loyalty and easing the lot
of Palestinians under
occupation.
The king's first priority is to
keep West Bank Palestinians
— all of whom are Jordanian
citizens — where they are. He
also intends to sweeten the
pill of Israeli occupation to
dissuade them from
emigrating to Jordan, which
already has a substantial
Palestinian majority.
Such a movement of people
could dangerously unsettle
Jordan's delicate demograph-
ic balance. In an attempt to
avert this threat, the king has
embarked on an ambitious
five-year development plan to
improve the quality of life in
the West Bank and Gaza.
This disbursement of
largesse is also designed to
help Hussein achieve his sec-
ond priority: Winning the
allegiance of Palestinians and
weakening PLO chairman
Yasser Arafat.
Continued loyalty to Arafat
could further radicalize the
West Bank Palestinians. This,
in turn, would have a
dangerous security spin-off
among Palestinians living in
Jordan itself.
The Jordanian monarch is
also known to fear that,
several years down the road,
Israeli authorities may decide
to expel radicalized Palestin-
ians en masse across the
Jordan River because they
pose an unacceptable security
threat.
It must have been clear to
Hussein from the start of his
secret negotiations with
Israeli Foreign Minister
Shimon Peres that over-
coming the procedural
obstacles to an international
peace conference — let alone
achieving agreement on the
substantive issues — was a
very long shot, indeed.
But the pact with Peres over
a formula for such a
conference did win Hussein
some valuable political
points. Moreover, it enabled
him to do what he does best:
