Israel Israel-Jordan Peace Treaty (Wadi Araba)
معاهدة وادي عربة
Summary
Peace treaty signed at Wadi Araba on 1994-10-26 between Israel and Jordan, the second Arab state (after Egypt) to formally normalize relations with Israel. Established diplomatic recognition, demarcated borders, and addressed water-sharing arrangements.
Impact
Anchor of the Jordanian foreign-policy orientation since 1994. Increasingly strained by the post-October-7 war and by Jordanian public sentiment; remains formally intact. The treaty's endurance through subsequent regional shocks underwrites Jordan's structural relationship with the Western security architecture.
