circumvented senior ministers, and
carelessly commented on sensitive
issues.

Netanyahu
promised the
Jorklanians that
he would
surprise them.
And he did.

The bungled attempt a month ago
to assassinate a Hamas leader, Khaled
Meshal, in Amman alienated them
even more. "Yitzhak Rabin," argues
Tel Aviv University's Susser, "was
quick to recognize the need to take
Jordanian interests into account, and
to avoid unilateral actions that would
have a negative impact for Hussein.
Netanyahu acted as if we were still in
a state of conflict-with him. Rabin
complained about the Hamas presence
in Amman, but he left it to the
Jordanians to see that it didn't endan-
ger Israel." But the rot had already set
in before the Likud came to power.
The Jordanians were dismayed by the
suffering they saw on their television
screens after Rabin's Labor successor,
Shimon Peres, launched the ill-fated
Operation "Grapes of Wrath" in
Lebanon two months before the Israeli
elections.
That wasn't what his "New Middle
East" was supposed to be about.
So can the Israeli-Jordanian peace
be made to live up its promises? Some
of them, says Professor Susser. "The
shared interests will continue to domi-
nate the relationship, even in a period
of mistrust. Relations will be far less
cordial, but Jordan has no interest in
abandoning peace."
Khouri, a Jordanian of Palestinian
origin, has not given up hope either.
"The last three years," he says, "have
allowed people on both sides to gain a
more comprehensive, more accurate,
view of each other ... There is a
residue of contact left behind by this
roller coaster of ups and downs. Trade
is going on. The two countries are
cooperating on environmental protec-
tion and water resources. The joint
airport at Aqaba is going ahead. The
peace process is not beyond salvation,
but the prospects are linked to the
Israeli-Palestinian issue." ❑
