Peacemaking: The Inside Story of the 1994 Jordanian-Israeli Treaty Abdul Salam Majali, Jawad A. Anani, and Munther J. Haddadin From the Preface by David L. Boren, President of the University of Oklahoma […] Jordanian peacemakers have not published accounts about negotiations of the 1994 Jordanian-Israeli Peace Treaty with the Israelis.
