When has israel helped jordan & how ?

After Syrian invasion of Northern Jordan, Israel offered to help but King Hussein refused. Its like when USA sent arms to both Iran and Iraq to destroy each-other. BTW, Jordan kicked Syrian out and agreed to cease fire only to let Syria pull her dead soldiers and destroyed equipments back. Jordan did the best performance in all Arab-Israeli wars among all Arab armies. I will be glad to prove...

Black September in Jordan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Syrian intervention attempt

On September 18, during the time of turmoil, Syria tried to intervene on behalf of the Palestinian guerrillas. President Hafez al-Assad told his biographer, Patrick Seale, that Syria's intervention was only to protect the Palestinians from a massacre. The Syrians sent in armored forces equivalent to a brigade, with tanks, some of them allegedly hastily rebranded from the regular Syrian army for the purpose. Other Syrian units were the 5th Infantry Division (with the 88th and 91st Tank Brigades and the 67th Mechanised Brigade with over 200 T-55 tanks) and Commandos. They were under the command of the Palestine Liberation Army's (PLA) Syrian branch, whose headquarters were located in Damascus, and which was controlled by the government. They were met by the 40th Armored Brigade of the Jordanian Army. The Syrian Air Force, under orders of Assad, never entered the battle. This has been variously attributed to power struggles within the Syrian Baathist government (pitting Assad against Salah Jadid), and to the threat of Israeli military intervention.

As King Hussein dealt with threats by both Palestinian refugees in his country and invading Syrian forces, the king asked "the United States and Great Britain to intervene in the war in Jordan, asking the United States, in fact, to attack Syria, and some transcripts of diplomatic communiques show that Hussein requested Israeli intervention against Syria." Timothy Naftali said. "Syria had invaded Jordan and the Jordanian king, facing what he felt was a military rout, said please help us in any way possible."[20]

A telegram indicates that Hussein himself called a U.S. official at 3 a.m. to ask for American or British help. "Situation deteriorating dangerously following Syrian massive invasion...", the document said. "I request immediate physical intervention both land and air... to safeguard sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of Jordan. Immediate air strikes on invading forces from any quarter plus air cover are imperative."[20]

On 21 September the Syrian 5th Division broke through the defenses of the Jordanian 40th Armoured Brigade, and pushed it back off the ar-Ramtha crossroads. King Hussein was thrown into a near panic. On 22 September the Royal Jordanian Air Force began attacking Syrian forces, which were badly battered as a result. The constant airstrikes broke the will of the Syrian force, and on the late afternoon of 22 September the 5th Division began to retreat.[21]

Whatever the case, the swift Syrian withdrawal was a severe blow to Palestinian hopes. Jordanian armored forces steadily pounded their headquarters in Amman, and threatened to break them in other regions of the kingdom as well. The Palestinians agreed to a cease-fire. Hussein and Arafat attended the meeting of leaders of Arab countries in Cairo, where Arafat won a diplomatic victory. On September 27, Hussein was forced to sign an agreement which preserved the right of the Palestinian organizations to operate in Jordan. For Jordan, it was humiliating that the agreement treated both sides to the conflict as equals.

Funny thing is people are talking if this is a military deal paid with money transfer. The 29.4 Billion which includes helluva lots of stuff to be mentioned here will only be deducted from the money US owes us. The US owes us close to 1 Trillion dollars maybe even more now a money they can't even pay back so might as well exchange for it state of the art Arms

I heard in an alternate timeline ages ago West Bank was part of Jordan ,I wonder did you manage to take it back after spending so much on military ?

Well , even the Saudi request of getting the whole army and coalition assistance of USA and her allies just to defend herself against Iraq is unparalleled in military history ... I haven't heard of a country actually begging other country's army to fight its battle ... ... We are so much enlightened about the Modern Arab military history getting beated and losing territory ... They cant even make their own equipment ! They needed Pakistani pilots during the war with Israel ... SSG commandos defeated the terrorist in the Grand Mosque Seizure ... So Arabs , please keep on dreaming about attacking Iran ... You haven't got the guts to do so !

P.S I am not a Shite ...

I see, i'll look it up and post the sources regarding israel's intervention on behalf of Jordan.

I will help you:

the midst of the Jordanian civil war
with Palestinians during September
1970, Syria conducted a short-lived
armored incursion into northern
Jordan. U.S. leaders, seeing Syrian intervention
through the prism of Cold War
politics, responded with extensive military
preparations to intervene on behalf of Jordan’s
King Hussein and prepared to block Soviet
intervention on behalf of Syria. When Syria
withdrew its forces after 3 days of combat
with the Jordanian army, U.S. decisionmakers
not only praised the Jordanian resistance but
also concluded that Syria’s withdrawal was a
victory for U.S. statecraft.
Recently declassified material provides
a richly detailed account of how Washington
quickly developed plans, deployed forces, and
solicited Israeli military assistance in response
to the rapidly developing crisis. The combination
of these steps would have allowed U.S. or
encouraged Israeli intervention to save King
Hussein from a potential Syrian onslaught.
Contemporary memoirs, public statements,
and diplomatic cables suggest that several
key international actors involved in the crisis
acknowledged the import of the U.S. military
moves.

Guys, someone plz clarify, which land Jordan sold to Israel?
West bank is a Palestinian land and Jordan paid a dear prize trying to defend it but failed though. Jordan kicked Israeli ***** in 1968 war. Jordan fought Israel 6 times, but the question is have you ever shot one bullet on Israel?
I don't think you are illegible to point fingers since you did nothing but perfect stated resonant slogans. I think we are in the place to point fingers toward you unless you prove the opposite.

let see how Jordan is sincere

King Abdullah was the commander of the Arab Legion, the strongest Arab army involved in the war.[citation needed] The Arab Legion had about 10,000 soldiers, trained and commanded by British officers.
King Abdullah outside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem, 29 May 1948

In 1946–47, Abdullah said that he had no intention to "resist or impede the partition of Palestine and creation of a Jewish state."[28] Hostile towards Palestinian nationalism, Abdullah wished to annex as much of Palestine as possible.[29] Ideally, Abdullah would have liked to annex all of Palestine, but he was prepared to compromise.[29][30] He supported the partition, intending that the West Bank area of the British Mandate allocated for Palestine be annexed to Jordan.[31] Abdullah had secret meetings with the Jewish Agency (at which the future Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir was among the delegates) that reached an agreement of Jewish non-interference with Jordanian annexation of the West Bank (although Abdullah failed in his goal of acquiring an outlet to the Mediterranean Sea through the Negev desert) and of Jordanian agreement not to attack the area of the Jewish state contained in the United Nations partition resolution (in which Jerusalem was given neither to the Arab nor the Jewish state, but was to be an internationally administered area). In one stunning diplomatic coup, the strongest Arab army agreed not to attack the Jewish state.[32] However, by 1948, the neighbouring Arab states pressured Abdullah into joining them in an "all-Arab military intervention" against the newly created State of Israel, that he used to restore his prestige in the Arab world, which had grown suspicious of his relatively good relationship with Western and Jewish leaders.[28]

You can't whining forever over the 16 pilots you sent who shot 10 jets while Arabs who lost most of their jets on the ground shot down 36 jets. Why don't you mention Pakistani victories over India...
