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:
