Description
This study takes an in-depth look at Jordan’s administrative and legal disengagement from the West Bank that was declared by King Hussein on 31 July 1988. It examines the procedures of the disengagement, including Jordan’s motives and Palestinian, Arab, Israeli and international factors that played a role. The book further assesses the effects of the move on the general political situation, the Palestinians in Jordan and the PLO, as well as Israel’s confrontation with the Palestinian Option.
