One is inscribed in [rabic, the other in Hebrew. For the monuments to the Jordanians and Israelis who died in the 1967 battle for Jerusalem, it’s somehow appro- iriate, given the contorted rela tionship between the people of the two countries. They have lived and died side by side rough two wars and countless Bloody border clashes to reach their historic peace treaty. | If Israelis seem blase about Wednesday’s planned signing ceremony on the Jordan-Israel border, it’s because they see it as |he cherry on a cake that was baked long ago. Jordan and Israel stopped fighting in 1970, and an unde clared peace has since flourished. Author Amnon Dankner says the treaty to be signed in the desert is like the wedding of a couple that has lived together for a long time. Unlike Egypt and Syria, Jor dan was often ambivalent, see ing Israel both as an enemy, and a buffer against enemies within the Arab world. Israel tended to see Jordan as a potential friend held back by fear of its militant Arab neigh bors. King Abdullah was assassi nated by a Palestinian in 1951. His grandson Hussein was a fre quent target of assassins. Israelis would always prefer Hussein to any radical, Soviet- backed militant. They might be enemies, but both belonged in the Western camp. Both sides share the waters of the River Jordan. So their water officials would meet in a tent on the river bank to dis cuss their problems. In 1963, Hussein opened a se cret high-level channel of commu nication through his private sur geon in London. In later years there would be meetings on boats at sea, or at se cret desert rendezvous and in for eign capitals. Palestinian raids into Israel from Jordan led to Israeli retali ation on Jordanian soil. The cycle of violence led to the 1967 Six-Day War, Jordan en tered the fighting, and ended up losing east Jerusalem and the West Bank. High quality medical care enhanced by research and education.
