1964 CE
In 1964, in spite of the problems that exist among the various Arab states, Nasser initiates Arab summit meetings that are held in January, March, and September in Cairo and Casablanca.
The immediate reason for the summits is to find a way to block Israel's plan to divert the waters of the Jordan River to irrigate the Negev Desert, a plan that will deprive the lower Jordan River valley of water.
The Arab states draw up a plan that calls for diverting the Jordan River in Syria and Lebanon but do not implement it.
