Resolution Adopted by the CCAR
PEACE TREATY WITH THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN
Adopted at the 106th Annual Convention of the
Central Conference of American Rabbis
Jerusalem, Israel
March, 1995 / Adar II, 5755
Background
The signing of a full peace treaty with the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan caps
decades of secret diplomatic contacts as well as missed opportunities. It is
beneficial to both countries and widely supported in Israel. It brings
tranquility to Israel’s longest border and significantly advances the process
of normalizing relationships between the two states that occupy most of the
land contained within the borders of British Mandate Palestine.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, THAT the CCAR applaud the Governments of Israel and
Jordan for their achievement and urge that substantial confidence-building
steps be taken by both governments and peoples to secure the treaty in
reality.
