The Jericho Conference ((アラビア語:مؤتمر أريحا)) was held in December 1948 to decide the future of the portion of Palestine that was held by Jordan at the end of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, led by Sheikh Muhammad Ali Ja'abari.〔(Sheikh Mohammed Ali Ja’abari )〕 Pro-Jordanian personalities called for the annexation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, to Jordan.〔(Palestinian Contemporary Political Performance: A Bitter Harvest ), Palestine-Israel Journal, Vol 15 No. 1&2, 2008〕 This unification was later known as the "Unification of the Two Banks" (the eastern and western banks of the Jordan River.) ==History== In October 1948, King Abdullah began a series of steps in order to effect the annexation of those parts of Palestine that his army and other Arab forces had captured and held during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. He did this while the cease-fire line was settled or agreed in February 1949. The first step was a congress session in Amman, convened upon the initiative of the Transjordanian government, in which King Abdullah’s representatives and a large number of Palestinian refugees called for a wider Palestinian congress to declare Palestinian unity and acknowledge King Abdullah as King of Palestine. On 1 December 1948, a conference in Jericho called for the annexation of what was left of Palestine under the Hashemite crown in light of the reality that the remaining Palestinian territory was effectively administered by the Jordanian authority. The Conference was attended by numerous delegations including the mayors of Hebron, Bethlehem, Ramallah, the Arab Legion Military Governor General, military governors of all the districts, and other notables. The audience was estimated at several thousand.〔(FRUS, US State Department Report )〕 Six resolutions were proposed but only four were adopted. They contained the following provisions: 1. Palestine Arabs desire unity between Transjordan and Arab Palestine and therefore make known their wish that Arab Palestine be annexed immediately to Transjordan. They also recognize Abdullah as their King and request him proclaim himself King of new territory. 2. Palestine Arabs express gratitude to Arab states for their efforts in behalf of liberation of Palestine. (The delegates indicated that the object of this was to hint to the Arab states that their job was done). 3. Expression of thanks to Arab states for their generous assistance and support to Palestine Arab refugees. 4. Resolve that purport of first resolution be conveyed to King at once.〔 The Transjordanian cabinet and parliament agreed within the following two weeks.〔(NAKBA, The Process of Palestinian Dispossession ), Palestinian Academic Society for the Study of International Affairs〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jericho Conference」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
