Newly released minutes expose the dramatic secret talks that helped pave the way for Israel-Jordan peace
On the 10th anniversary of Shimon Peres' death, newly released documents reveal a secret meeting between the then-foreign minister and Jordan's King Hussein in November 1993. The meeting, held at the king's palace in Amman, aimed to lay early groundwork for the Israel-Jordan peace treaty, which was signed in 1994. Peres and Hussein discussed the urgency of advancing peace and their desire to leave a lasting legacy for future generations.
Hussein proposed an unofficial document to summarize the discussions, which later became a foundation for the peace agreement.
