Israel–Jordan Peace Treaty

On 26 October 1994 Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Jordanian Prime Minister Abdelsalam al-Majali signed the treaty at the Arava border crossing north of Eilat and Aqaba, with King Hussein and President Bill Clinton looking on. It followed the Washington Declaration of July 1994, which formally ended the state of war. The treaty fixed the border along the Jordan and Yarmouk rivers and the Arava, set water sharing, with Israel supplying Jordan 50 million cubic meters a year, and let Israeli farmers keep working two enclaves, Naharayim and Tzofar, under a 25-year arrangement.

Jordan became the second Arab country, after Egypt, to make peace with Israel, and the treaty recognized Jordan's special role at the Muslim holy shrines in Jerusalem. King Hussein's personal bond with Rabin was visible at Rabin's funeral in 1995, where he called him "my brother". The peace has remained mostly between governments, with close security cooperation and Israeli gas exports; Jordan ended the enclave arrangement in 2019.
