The regime’s new measures designed to pave the road to the Jordanian option.
‘Ten years have elapsed since the Ra-
bat Summit Conference. Now King Hus-
sein is promoting talk of UN Security
Council resolution 242, which does not
conform to UN or Arab Summit de-
cisions, which recognized the PLO as the
sole, legitimate representative of the Pa-
lestinian people wherever they may be.
New government
In early January, King Hussein
abolished the National Consultative
Council and convened the suspended
National Assembly (parliament), which
then nominated Ahmad Obeidat,
Minister of the Interior in Mudar
Badran’s government, to form a new

Abdul Hamid Sharaf. Obeidat, the new
Prime Minister, is the seventh minister of
the interior, and the second chief of the

There are several points which
confirm this: For one, the government
was formed after the convening of the
parliament which is considered to
represent both the East Bank, i.e. Jordan,
and the West Bank (Palestine).
Moreover, the new government was
formed in the context of attempts and
wagers on a split in the PLO. While
obviously not signifying any real change
in the internal balance of power, the
composition of the new government was
carefully determined so as to maintain
the formal balance between the various
districts and tribes in Jordan. The
even included some
liberals, such as Laila Sharaf, Jawad
Anani and Taher Hikmat. All of this is to
