US embassy cable - 05AMMAN1829

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(C) In the absence of Foreign Minister al-Mulki, Charge 
delivered ref a points March 6 to Royal Court Minister Samir 
al-Rifai.  Rifai responded that he was in complete agreement 
with U.S. views on this matter and pointed to strong 
Jordanian statements urging Syria to fully comply with UNSCR 
1559 -- which the King and others have reinforced with the 
Syrians in private (ref b).  Rifai said that King Abdullah 
had recently told an Algerian delegation visiting Amman in 
preparation for the upcoming Arab League summit in Algiers 
that the summit declaration should contain a clear message on 
the need for Syria to immediately and fully withdraw from 
Lebanon.  Charge will follow-up with the Foreign Minister 
when he returns to Jordan.
