Jordan’s position on the Tunisian initiative in July 1973 to settle the Arab Israeli conflict in light of the Palestinian documents

Abstract

The text of the initiative of the Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba, which he proposed on July 2, 1973, to settle the Palestinian issue and end the Arab-Israeli conflict by accepting Israel’s principle of partitioning Palestine according to the United Nations resolution number (181) of 1947 and determining the borders between the Arab states and Israel through negotiations and establishing a Palestinian state, and Bourguiba’s statements aroused the surprise and astonishment of the Jordanian government because they included words that concern the Jordanian affair, so it announced its rejection of those statements and cut off diplomatic relations with Tunisia in protest of that position.
