Abstract
Despite the strategic relationship between Britain and Jordan, during the 1948 War that followed the establihment of Israel, Britain supplied arms just to protect the Hashemite regime in Jordan and not to be used in the war in Palestine against the Jews. This opposed the position of the commander of the Arab Legion General Glubb Pasha, who demanded weapons for the war in Palestine. Moreover, Britain implemented the Security Council's decision on the Embargo in May 1948, and did not transfer arms supplies to the Arab Legion. The shortage of weapons and ammunition in the Arab Legion as a result of the United Nations embargo forced Jordan to end the war with Israel in July 1948, just two months after it had officially begun.
