Hussein Reorganizes Jordan as Palestinians Face New Citizenship
The six day war left Palestinians in the West Bank under Israeli control while King Hussein plans big reforms in Jordan. A referendum proposal for West Bank autonomy clashes with Palestinian statehood options backed by Arafat and the PLO. Hussein shifts to a new constitution and elections. Palestinians east of the Jordan must choose loyalty to the king or PLO. Most West Bank residents will lose reserved parliament and cabinet seats, become full citizens, pay taxes, and follow laws. Some refugees near Amman may be resettled to boost agriculture. Hussein vows no large PLO bases or training camps in Jordan, aiming to curb arms buildup and deter forces against Israel. The PLO is likely to turn to terrorism if pushed out, raising regional tensions and fears of renewed conflict.
