October 1984 CE
Yasser Arafat seeks Egyptian and Jordanian support against Syria.
He also looks to Hussein as an intermediary for negotiations with the United States and Israel that might lead to a Palestinian mini-state on the West Bank within a Jordan-Palestine confederation—an idea that has been favored by the dominant factions in the PLO since the early 1980s.
