Founding of the Emirate of Trans-Jordan
When French forces captured Damascus at the Battle of Maysalun and expelled his brother Faisal, Abdullah moved his forces from Hejaz towards Syria to liberate Syria and dislodge the French from Damascus, where his brother had been proclaimed King in 1918. Damascus ( دمشق,, also commonly known as الشام ash-Shām) is the capital and largest city of Syria. The Battle of Maysalun, also called The Battle of Maysalun Pass, took place between Syrian and French forces about 12 miles west of Damascus Faisal bin Al Hussein Bin Ali El-Hashemi, GCB, GCMG ( فيصل بن حسين Fayṣal ibn Ḥusayn; 20 May 1883 &ndash September 8 Having heard of Abdullah's plans, Winston Churchill invited Abdullah to a famous "tea party" where he convinced Abdullah to stay put and not attack Britain's allies, the French. Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill, KG, OM, CH, TD, FRS, PC, PC (Can ( 30 November 1874 Churchill told Abdullah that French forces were superior to his and that the British did not want any trouble with French. Abdullah acquiesced and was rewarded when the British created a protectorate for him, which later became a state; Transjordan.

Expansionist aspirations

Abdullah, alone among the Arab leaders of his generation, was a moderate with a modestly pro-Western outlook. He would actually have signed a separate peace agreement with Israel, but for the Arab League's militant opposition. The Arab League ( الجامعة العربية) officially called the League of Arab States ( جامعة الدول العربية Because of his dream for a Greater Syria comprising the borders of what was then Transjordan, Syria, Lebanon, and the British Mandate for Palestine under a Hashemite dynasty with "a throne in Damascus," many Arab countries distrusted Abdullah and saw him as both "a threat to the independence of their countries and they also suspected him of being in cahoots with the enemy" and in return, Abdullah distrusted the leaders of other Arab counties. The Emirate of Transjordan ( Arabic: ar إمارة شرق الأردن) was a former Ottoman territory incorporated into the British Mandate of Palestine Syria ( سوريّة or) officially the Syrian Arab Republic (Arabic ar الجمهورية العربية السورية Lebanon (ˈlɛbənɒn Arabic: ar لبنان Lubnān) officially the Republic of Lebanon or Lebanese Republic (ar الجمهورية اللبنانية The Palestine Mandate, was a set of protocols or articles that formed a multilateral legal and administrative agreement [1][2][3]

Rogan wrote that Abdullah actually supported partition in order so that the allocated areas of the British Mandate for Palestine could be annexed into Transjordan. According to this thesis, Abdullah went so far as to have secret meetings with the Jewish Agency (future Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir was among the delegates to these meetings) that came to a mutually agreed upon partition plan independently of the United Nations, and that the plan even had approval from British authorities. The Jewish Agency for Israel (Hebrew הסוכנות היהודית לארץ ישראל HaSochnut HaYehudit L'Eretz Yisra'el) also known as the Sochnut or JAFI The Prime Minister of Israel is the head of the Israeli government and is the most powerful political officer in Israel (the President of Israel being a titular figurehead Golda Meir ( גּוֹלְדָּה מֵאִיר جولدا مائير born Golda Mabovitch, 3 May 1898 - 8 December 1978 known as Golda Myerson from 1917-1956 [5] This idea of secret Zionist-Hashemite negotiations in 1947 was in fact first proposed by New Historian Avi Shlaim in his book Collusion Across The Jordan: King Abdullah, the Zionist Movement, and the Partition of Palestine. The New Historians are a loosely-defined group of Israeli historians who have published histories of expulsions of Palestinians by Israel in 1948 expropriations of Palestinian property Avi Shlaim (born October 31, 1945 in Baghdad, Iraq) is an Israeli British dual citizen and historian and identifies
The claim has, however, been strongly disputed by Israeli historian Efraim Karsh. Efraim Karsh (אפרים קארש born 1953 is Professor and Head of Mediterranean Studies at King's College London. In an article in Middle East Quarterly, he alleged that "extensive quotations from the reports of all three Jewish participants [at the meetings] do not support Shlaim's account. Middle East Quarterly ( MEQ) is a quarterly journal devoted to subjects relating to the Middle East. . . the report of Golda Meir (the most important Israeli participant and the person who allegedly clinched the deal with Abdullah) is conspicuously missing from Shlaim's book, despite his awareness of its existence". [6] According to Karsh, the meetings in question concerned "an agreement based on the imminent U. N. Partition Resolution, [in Meir's words] "to maintain law and order until the UN could establish a government in that area"; namely, a short-lived law enforcement operation to implement the UN Partition Resolution, not obstruct it". [6]
By 1948, the neighboring Arab states pressured Abdullah into joining them in an "all-Arab military intervention" against the newly created State of Israel, which he used to restore his prestige in the Arab world, which had grown suspicious of his relatively good relationship with Western and Jewish leaders. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Israel topics. [4] Abdullah's role in this war became substantial. He saw himself as the "supreme commander of the Arab forces" and "persuaded the Arab League to appoint him" to this position. The Arab League ( الجامعة العربية) officially called the League of Arab States ( جامعة الدول العربية [7] His forces under their British commander Glubb Pasha did not approach the area set aside for the new Israel, though they clashed with the Yishuv forces around Jerusalem, intended to be the International Zone.

The assassin was a 21-year-old tailor's apprentice Mustafa Ashu,[8] who according to Alec Kirkbride, the British Resident in Amman, was a "former terrorist". Sir Alec Seath Kirkbride (1897 - 1978 was a British diplomat Biography He began his military career as an officer in the army of General Allenby from 1916 [9] Ten conspirators were accused of plotting the assassination and were brought to trial in Amman. The prosecution named Colonel Abdullah Tell, ex-Military Governor of Jerusalem, and Dr. Musa Abdullah Husseini as the chief plotters of "the most bastardly crime Jordan ever witnessed. " The Jordanian prosecutor asserted that Col. Tell had given instructions that the killer, made to act alone, be slain at once thereafter to shield the instigators of the crime. Tell and Husseini fled to protection in Egypt and four local co-conspirators were sentenced to death in Amman. Jerusalem sources added that Col. Tell had been in close contact with the former "Grand Mufti of Jerusalem", Amin al-Husayni, and his adherents in Arab Palestine. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem is the Sunni Muslim cleric in charge of Jerusalem 's Islamic holy places including the Al-Aqsa Mosque Mohammad Amin al-Husayni (محمد أمين الحسيني properly transliterated al-Husseini, 1895 / 1897 - July 4, 1974) a member
