PLO Pushes for Greater Jordanian Role in Peace Talks
The Palestinian leadership strengthens its cooperation with Jordan as it continues talks with Israel.
An already strong alliance between the Jordanian and Palestinian leadership was made even stronger over the weekend. Senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat made an unusual public pledge on Aug. 24 by declaring that every document the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) plans to submit to the Israelis in negotiations will be first shown to Jordan. Also pledged was that every document the Israelis present will also be passed onto Amman.
What makes this alliance so strong?
