July 1240 CE
An agreement is brokered in July 1240 via Theobald I of Navarre, with the Crusaders allying with Damascus against Egypt.
The Crusaders will secure the southern border of Palestine from Ayyub, while Ismail is forced to effectively cede all of the land west of the Jordan River that Saladin had gained for the Ayyubids in 1187, including Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Gaza, and Nablus.
Ismail also gave up his own fortresses in Hunin, Tiberias, Beaufort, and Safad.
The terms of the treaty provoke outcries and consternation throughout the Arab world, and Muslim imams denounce Ismail because of the loss of Jerusalem.
