Abstract

The Jordanian interaction with the Palestinian issue from the beginnings of the twentieth century came from ties of religion, neighborhood closeness, economical integration and other nationalistic ties in common such as language, culture and shared destiny and the fundamental constants at the Great Arab Revolt. The strong connection between the Jordanian and the Palestinian people is a national fact, made stronger by the interlock of origins and descendants, and the fusing of through its long history as its connection of Palestine and the Palestinian Issue, not even before its declaration as a political entity in the region in 1921.

For Jordan, the Palestinian issue was not only a political issue, nor merely a matter of values, rights, and principles, or the cause of a brotherly people. Today, if the Arab nationalist thought considered this issue its first central Arab issue, Jordan has dealt with it on the basis that it is a Jordanian issue, destiny, destiny, history, present and future, in addition to being the first national issue.

Jordan's dealings with the Palestinian issue did not come as an impulse, nor as an emergency or seasonal dealing, but rather as a measure of the close organic bond between the Jordanian and Palestinian peoples based on national, geographical and historical considerations, which were represented by blood ties, religion, history, fate and immediate neighborhood, and the unity of pains and hopes....etc. He lived through her tragedy at a stage since her birth, with all his heart and feelings, and was associated with her, interacting with her, influencing and being influenced by her, so he offered her money, weapons and martyr after martyr, as she was the most influential factor from a political point of view in the history of the establishment and development of the Jordanian entity.

Jordan stood alongside the Palestinian people in their tribulation, and in their justified fight for freedom and independence. Jordan provided official conference and public ones, Threw protests, sent telegrams, supported the Palestinian revolutions, refused Belfore Promise and the qeeviding and the Ziomist migration to Palestine, and everything that is against the frecdom of Palestinian people.
