🇯🇴 King Hussein of Jordan: Survival of a dynasty | Al Jazeera World

The life and struggles of King Hussein of Jordan, from the assassination of his grandfather to the rise of the PLO.
This two-part series is the story of Jordan's king from 1952 to 1999, a major political figure in the cauldron of the Middle East and one whose life and career were never far from a crisis, at home and abroad. Hussein was still only fifteen when his grandfather, King Abdullah I, was shot dead by a Palestinian gunman in July 1951 with the boy by his side at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem. Hussein’s father, Talal, became king but was forced to abdicate for health reasons after only a year in power, in August 1952; and the sixteen-year-old Crown Prince acceded to the throne, under a Regency Council until he came of age. He then faced a series of political crises, domestically and in his dealings with Israel. As King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, he took over the country at a time of huge uncertainty. He inherited the Anglo-Jordanian treaty with the British from his grandfather - but also had to deal with the fall-out from the 1948 war and foundation of Israel when the West Bank and East Jerusalem were annexed to Jordan, along with their Palestinian populations. Hussein’s supporters regarded him as the father of modern Jordan, the man who guided his country through dangerous times and kept the Hashemite dynasty in power at a time when the Egyptian, Iraqi and Libyan monarchies had all fallen. But Jordanian opposition parties, particularly the Communists, were against the monarchy. The communist party won a parliamentary majority in 1956 but a year later Hussein dismissed the Prime Minister, ended multi-party rule and imprisoned or exiled his opponents. During his 46-year reign, the country’s industry and infrastructure certainly grew and were modernised - and living standards and literacy among ordinary Jordanians steadily improved.
But internationally he polarises opinion. In parts of the Arab world, he’s accused of selling out to the British, Americans and Israeli Zionists. His highest profile critic was arguably Egypt’s nationalist President Nasser who had himself overthrown King Faroukh. The two were often at loggerheads. Jordan joined Egypt and Syria in the Six Day War with Israel in 1967 in which Hussein lost the whole of the West Bank and saw his military decimated. He then refused to join Syria and Egypt in the retaliatory October War in 1973, even tipping off Golda Meir that an Arab attack was imminent. Hussein’s relationship with the Palestinians was also difficult. After the 1967 loss of the West Bank and East Jerusalem, they never felt he was able to protect them; and in 1970 he expelled the PLO from Jordan.
Hussein is thought to have conducted secret talks with Israel over a thirty year period, resulting in the Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace in 1994; and his relationship with Yitzhak Rabin was so close, he spoke at Rabin's funeral. His relationship with the West was also extremely close - and in 1977 the Washington Post alleged he had such strong ties with the CIA that even received a monthly salary from the agency.
In February 1999, Hussein lost his seven-year battle against cancer. He was a colourful and controversial personality, a trained and daring pilot, with an eventful personal life. He had four marriages, the latter to the American-born Lisa Hallaby, Queen Noor, his wife for 21 years until his death. His critics described him as an artful opportunist, cynically shifting alliances with the sole aim of staying in power. An Israeli intelligence report once described him as a man trapped on a bridge burning at both ends, spanning a crocodile-infested river. He was certainly an arch politician who navigated the minefield of the Middle East all his political life but never lost faith in the peace process. In his last major TV interview he said he believed that peace would eventually be reached in the Arab-Israeli conflict although, of course, almost two decades later, that peace is still proving as elusive as ever.

Not true. And to equate Saudi Arabia with Israel is such a shameless attempt at demonizing Saudi. The facts are: Saudi was always reserved when it came to a country taking over another country, by merger or by take over. To that point king Abdulaziz of Saudi captured significant parts of Yemen in battles against the Imami’s then returned them because it was truly turbulent and destabilizing. Hence, Saudi was against unifying Jordan & Iraq under the Hashemite rule.. when you think about it that worked for the favor of the Jordanian monarchy since their cousins in Iraq were virtually stampeded and slaughtered by rouge angry mobs!

The British with the help of the free masons kidnapped him and took him to a Hospital in Switzerland accusing him of being crazy , never allowing any Jordanian or a doctor from any other country , Only a British doctor who is assigned by them . Later on they moved him to Turkey under the control of the military Junta to put him under house arrest for the rest of his life . King Hussein was 16.5 years old , So his mother and her brother Alshareef Naser Ben Jamil ( an Egyptian) Signed the deal with the British. Later on King Hussein went to England to meet Winston Churchill who advice him on policies to always to be in the gray area . When he talk with the Jordanians he is very sweet , understanding , nice man , But when they get into small problem and they were asked to visit Wakalaht AlMukhabarat , They find the truth , We have a gang of criminals running the country. King Hussein became a free Mason on May17of 1957 , In the same year , He started working for the CIA at a salary of $700.000 dollars a year ( Bob Woodward ) 1978 investigation , In the same year he started sharing his salary with the top leadership at Wakalaht Almukhabarat and encourage them to cooperate with the CIA , So the money will keep coming . The kingdom was established by the British to protect Israel and helped them to establish themselves . King Hussein and his son always complain that Jordan is a very poor country , Even though they establish a $33 Billion dollar bank account . The term Jordan is very poor is the tree the cover the jungle of treacherous polices that always built on keeping the people down .

As correctly stated Israel DID mobilIze ostentatiously one armoured division near Nazereth. It ALSO sent its IAF jets over Syrian forces making "sonic boomS" to peturb them. It worked and the Syrians quickly returned to their bases in Syria. The King was eternally grateful and repaid the prompt neighbourly help by WARNING PM Golda Meir of the impending attack by Syria & Egypt (Yom Kippur War 1973Tm facing Abdullah & expensive Harrods shopper Queen Rana is as of December 2023 is whether they might face a BLACK SEPTEMBER MARK 2?
