Jordan Joins Arab Command Meeting In Cairo
Jordan acceded to the Arab Unified Command demand to attend a joint defense council meeting in Cairo to discuss possible moves against Israel. Amman will send a military delegation, leaving Tunisia as the only Arab country absent, amid tensions with Syria and Egypt and after King Hussein criticized the command for not aiding Jordan in repelling the November Israeli raid. The PLO warned it would continue raids into Israeli territory, justifying actions as Arab rights restoration due to UN perceived inaction.
