Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace

In Jordan, Israel and Jordan sign a formal peace treaty witnessed by President Clinton. For decades, going back to the 1930s, Zionist/Israeli and Jordanian leaders hold sporadic secret talks. Both countries see the other as inherently in their respective national interests. On the other hand, Syrian and Israeli military chiefs of staff meet in Maryland to narrow differences between them on a negotiated settlement. However, no agreement is reached. (source)
