The .Abu Itiabi Defence Fores, consisting at present of about 300 mm and a small aiM&er of British officers, only got otr the ground when Shaikh /said replaced Shakhfcut In August. It is at present equipped mainly with rifles, guas and Iband Sovars,, but 11 will be " " the latest kind of scout car. together with a lot of other vehicles, and also mortars, Karl Gustaf anti-tank weapons, as well as farther rifles and machine ^uns. There is not at present to be an air wing, but the purchase of the mor.t suitable kind of patrol craft for coastal patrols is under consideration. The Force will, so far as can be seen at present, expand to about 600 men. None of its squadrons is yet fully operational; its task is at present confined to patrolling- in a section of ^bu Dhabi away from the frontiers. The frontiers are looked after by the '.Crucial Csrian Scouts, who maintain two squadrons there. 5* I do not know why King Hussein got the impression of antiquated and useless equipment. Perhaps lie thought that Abu I&abi ought to have an army similar 'to that of Jordan, but of course the tasks are totally different and it would be ^iiit© inappropriate to equip the Abu Dhabi i)erenee Force with &jfei|teavy weapons needad to deal w Israel.

Further information is given in the enclosed Terms and Conditions of supply of Public Records' leaflet CONFIDENTIAL Mr. Brenanle. Sir D. en KING HUSSEIN Before King Hussein's recent visit to the Gulf States and Saudi Arabia, some anxiety was expressed lest his absence from Jordan should give an opportunity to make trouble there to those elements within Jordan and outside who wish to overturn the present regime. There was also some concern about the King's reception in the Gulf States, particularly Bahrain, and about his personal safety. In this context the two attached despatches are of interest: one dated 20 February from Sir Stewart Crawford in Bahrain about the King's visit Flag B to the Lower Gulf States and the other dated 22 February from Mr. Man about the King's visit to Saudi Arabia. 2. In the event, the expected difficulties did not occur either in Jordan or in the Gulf and it is now possible to see certain benefits arising from the visit quite apart from King Hussein's own notable success in raising funds for Jordan's arms purchases. 3. Firstly, the fact that the King was able to make this trip at all and to return to Jordan without there having been any upheaval was a witness to his success and that of his Government in re-establishing stability after the serious disturbances which followed the Israel attack on Samu. U. Secondly, King Hussein's successful projection of himself and his warm and positive personality, to which Sir Stewart Crawford draws attention, won him a good deal of sympathy (in addition to the admiration which already existed for his courage) amongst tire Rulers of the Gulf States and others not normally particularly favourably inclined towards him. King Hussein's visit may also have been something to galvanize those Rulers inclined to be faint-hearted in the face of Egyptian inspired Arab nationalist pressures to be rather more robust. 5. Admittedly in terms of Jordanian internal politics it "could be argued that it would be better for King Hussein to lie low and to avoid any prominence as a leader of those resisting Egyptian pressures, bearing in mind that his West Banker subjects look to President Nasser and his creatures, Shuqairy and the -Palestine Liberation Organisation^ the main hope for an eventual restoration of an Arab Palestinian state. King Hussein's personality and inclinations are, however, ill-fitted for such a retiring role and it would be unrealistic to expect him to fulfil it. That being so, we may as well welcome the various incidental advantages for our position in the Gulf which flow from King Hussein's willingness to be increasingly active there. 6. In the Gulf States themselves the chief consequential benefit of King Hussein's visit is that he is now likely to urge the Jordanian authorities to do all they can, short of /providing CONFIDENTIAL 1 2 cms PUBLIC RECORD OFFICE ins 1 1 I 2 Ret* TCo 17/2 <W 85£.Cty Plea se note that this copy is supplied subject to the Public Record Office's terms and conditions and that your use of it may be subject to copyright restrictions.

The visit to Saudi Arabia was perhaps the most important of all from the point of view of King Hussein's own financial hopes, but had lees importance in the contett of the general Middle Eastern political situation in that it was a public expression of an already existing common understanding and did not represent a new departure.

  • The 1967 Arab-Israeli War Origins and Consequences
    The 1967 Arab-Israeli War Origins and Consequences The June 1967 War was a watershed moment in the history of the mod- ern Middle East. In six days, the Israelis defeated the Arab armies of Egypt, Syria, and Jordan and seized large portions of territory includ- ing the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, the Sinai Peninsula, and the Golan Heights. With the hindsight of four decades and access to recently declassified documents, two veteran scholars of the Middle East bring together some of the most knowledgeable experts in their fields to reassess the origins of the war and its regional reverberations. Each chapter takes a different perspective from the vantage point of a different participant, those that actually took part in the war, and the world powers – the United States, Soviet Union, Britain, and France – that played important roles behind the scenes. Their conclusions make for sober reading. At the heart of the story was the incompetence of the Egyptian high command under the leadership of Gamal Abdel Nasser and the rivalry between various Arab players who were deeply suspi- cious of each other’s motives. Israel, on the other side, gained a resound- ing victory for which, despite previous assessments to the contrary, there was no master plan. Wm. Roger Louis is the Kerr Professor of English History and Cul- ture at the University of Texas at Austin and Honorary Fellow of St. Antony’s College, Oxford.

Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: May 22, 2014 Copyright 2017 ADST [Note: This is an interview in progress. Additional portions will be added as they are completed.] Q: Today is the 22nd of May, 2014, and an interview with Ambassador Edward W. Gnehm -- better known to friends and colleagues as “Skip.” GNEHM: Correct. Q: Well Skip, in the first place when and where were you born? GNEHM: I was born in Carrollton, Georgia, and, in fact, grew up in Georgia. Q: Okay then let’s talk about the Gnehm family. In the first place how the hell did you get that name and where did it come from? GNEHM: That is a very interesting question given the number of times in my career I was asked that question. Of course I got my family name from my father and grandfather. My grandfather was actually an immigrant from Switzerland where the family lived for centuries. But the interesting thing about my family name is that virtually all of the Arabs that I’ve known through the years have believed it to be an Arabic name as we pronounce it similarly to an Arabic family. My Arab friends just assumed that I was of Arab origin. And the Israelis believed that as well! Q: Being an Arab is quite handy. GNEHM: But in truth it is a Swiss-German name. Q: Well what do you know about the Gnehm family? What were they doing in Switzerland and why did they leave the Alps and go to Georgia? GNEHM: They were farmers in dairy country and my great-grandfather actually was a cook on a ship on the Rhine River.

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of East Anglia digital repository Tomatoes, tribes, bananas, and businessmen: an analysis of the shadow state and of the politics of water in Jordan. Hussam Hussein1 2 1 Water Security Research Centre and Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research, School of International Development, University of East Anglia (UEA), Norwich Research Park, NR4 7TJ, Norwich, UK – [email protected] 2 Issam Fares Institute for Public Policy and International Affairs (IFI), American University of Beirut (AUB), P.O.Box 11-0236, Riad El-Solh, Beirut, 1107 2020, Lebanon ABSTRACT This article shed light on the shadow state, investigating who belongs to it, their interests, and their relation to the water sector. This is important because Jordan is known to be among the most water scarce countries in the world and some water professionals see in the shadow state an obstacle to implementing successful water policies, resulting to be one of the main reasons behind inefficiencies in the water sector in the country. Furthermore, an in-depth investigation of the relation between the shadow state and the water sector is needed. This article makes a contribution by analysing the current challenges posed by the shadow state to efficient operations of the water institutions as well as wider government, and the difficulties they encounter in responding with reforms in Jordan. This analysis will serve policy makers and water professionals to better understand how to navigate the complex Jordanian water sector. This is particularly important nowadays in order to ensure socio- economic and political stability of Jordan in the aftermath of the so-called “Arab Spring”.

    UPI, May 3, 1983 …In west Beirut, the second explosion in as many nights ripped through the Hamra district, injuring at least three people, officials said. An American University Hospital spokesman said they were injured apparently by smoke and flying glass. The explosion struck a shopping area about a block from the Commodore Hotel, where reporters traveling with Secretary of State George Shultz were lodged. The blast ripped through a building containing the Mebco Bank and several small shops including a Japanese airline office.

SUDDARTH Interviewed by: Charles Stuart Kennedy Initial interview date: March 30, 1999 Copyright 2008 ADST Q: Today is March 30, 1999. This is an interview with Ambassador Roscoe S. Suddarth. This is being done on behalf of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training. Could you tell me when and where you were born and something about your family? SUDDARTH: I was born in Louisville, Kentucky in 1935. My father was the manager of a General Mills plant that made flour out of wheat. The plant was right next to the Louisville Colonels baseball field, so some of my earliest memories were sitting in my father's office watching baseball games at night. Q: You say you started out in Tennessee, but your father moved. SUDDARTH: No, I was born in Louisville, Kentucky. My father had a heart attack when I was five years old. He was 47. We then moved back to Nashville, Tennessee. He had been born in Lebanon, Tennessee and had grown up there and then went through schools in Nashville. I guess the most meaningful was being at Peabody Demonstration School. That was a school that was a demonstration school for the teaching college, Peabody College for Teachers. That is now part of Vanderbilt. They selected so-called “bright” students from around the city as well as others. We had a kind of rarified atmosphere of Interview with Ambassador Roscoe S.
