An emergency meeting of the Arab League…

June 1988 CE

An emergency meeting of the Arab League in June 1988 gives the PLO financial control of support for the Palestinians, thereby virtually acknowledging Arafat as their spokesman.

In response, Hussein renounces all Jordanian claims to the West Bank, allowing the PLO to assume full responsibility there.

He dissolves the Jordanian parliament (half of whose members are West Bank representatives), ceases salary payments to twenty-one thousand West Bank civil servants, and orders that West Bank Palestinian passports be converted to two-year travel documents.
