The treaty was signed on 26 October 1994 at Arabah.
In 1987, Israeli Foreign Affairs Minister Shimon Peres and King Hussein tried secretly to arrange a peace agreement in which Israel would concede the West Bank to Jordan. The two signed an agreement defining a framework for a Middle Eastern peace conference. The proposal was not consummated due to Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir's objection. The following year, Jordan abandoned its claim to the West Bank in favor of a peaceful resolution between Israel and the PLO.
Discussions resumed in 1994. Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres informed King Hussein that, after the Oslo Accords with the PLO, Jordan might be "left out of the big game". Hussein consulted with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak and Syrian President Hafez al-Assad. Mubarak encouraged him, but Assad told him only to "talk" and not sign anything. U.S. President Bill Clinton pressured Hussein to start peace negotiations and to sign a peace treaty with Israel, promising that Jordan's debts would be written off. The efforts succeeded, and Jordan signed a nonbelligerency agreement with Israel. Rabin, Hussein, and Clinton signed the Washington Declaration in Washington, DC, on 25 July 1994. The Declaration said that Israel and Jordan had ended the official state of enmity and would start negotiations in order to achieve an "end to bloodshed and sorrow" and a just and lasting peace.

Chester Szuber, Heart Transplant Recipient: “I feel absolutely fantastic. Emotionally, I have problems, and I think that only from the standpoint of that weve lost Patti...”
Its a dramatic story of life from death. Chester Szuber had heart disease most of his life. When he became a candidate for a transplant four years ago, his daughter, Patti, became an organ donor.
In August, the 22-year-old woman was killed in a car accident. Chester’s family helped convince him Patti would have wanted him to receive her heart. What may be the first operation of its kind was performed four days after the accident.
I think its going to make me stronger because not only do I have to consider my own health Im taking care of Patti at the same time.

It costs a billion dollars a year to treat the victims of gunshot wounds in the United States. Get on your knees!

Social issues like ‘Beyond the Glass Ceiling’
Women make up almost 50 percent of the American Workforce yet only fill one out of every 20 executive positions. Why are they still not rising to the top?
Environmental issues like ‘The People Bomb’
Nearly five and a half billion people live on this planet. Before the end of the next century, that number will triple. Can the Earths limited resources sustain a population spiraling out of control?

Yasser Arafat, PLO President (Voice of Translator): I fully realize, Mr. President, that this award, which is of ultimate significance and gesture, was not given to us to crown an endeavor that we had completed, but rather to encourage us to continue a road which we have started.
Yitzhak Rabin:Peace is possible. We see the hope in our children eyes. We see the light in our soldiers faces, in the streets, in the buses, in the fields.
Shimon Peres, Israeli Foreign Minister: We have reached the age where dialogue is really the only way to run the world correctly. Your majesties, ladies and gentlemen, may I wish all of you a happy new year. A year of hope and peace. Thank you.
