Nasser calls for a meeting in Cairo…

September 1970 CE

Nasser calls for a meeting in Cairo to stop the civil war.

The Arab summit finally comes about on September 26 after bloody military engagements in which Jordan decisively repulses the Syrians and sees to be defeating the PLO, although PLO forces will not be pushed out of Jordan until July 1971.

On September 27, 1970, Hussein and Arafat agree to a fourteen-point cease-fire under Nasser's mediation, officially ending the war.
