| | Jordan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Although the Government of Jordan stated its opposition to the Iraqi occupation of Kuwait, popular support for Iraq was driven by Jordan's Palestinian community, which favored Saddam as a champion against Western supporters of Israel. | | | In 1922, in an attempt to assuage Arab anger resulting from the Balfour Declaration, with the approval of the League of Nations, the British created the semi-autonomous Arab Emirate of Transjordan in all Palestinian territory east of the Jordan river. | | | Moving toward greater independence, Jordan's parliament has investigated corruption charges against several regime figures and has become the major forum in which differing political views, including those of political Islamists, are expressed. |

| | Is Jordan Palestine? - article by Daniel Pipes |
| | A second Palestinian state to the west of the River is a prescription for anarchy." A clandestine agreement in 1987 between the Likud party and Faysal al-Husayni, the Palestinian activist, reportedly recognized Palestinian sovereignty east of the Jordan River. | | | In the second stage (after the establishment of the Palestinian state east of the Jordan River) those areas of the land of Israel in the West Bank under Israel's control and areas inside the green line [delimiting pre-1967 Israel] inhabited by Palestinians shall become part of the Palestinian state. | | | Too, Jordan's recent disavowal of claims to sovereignty on the West Bank is a tactical twist that brings to mind similar declamations in the 1974-75 period. |

| | The Jordan river, where Christians believe Jesus was baptised, is heavily polluted with sewage and is in danger of drying up after decades of conflict and intense agricultural use, environmentalists say. | | | Years of conflict between the main users of the river - revered by Christians, Muslims and Jews - have contributed to the crisis. | | | Next month, FOEME says it will host an event in which Israeli, Jordanian and Palestinian mayors will jump into the Jordan as part of a campaign to clean up the dying river. |
