US embassy cable - 02AMMAN2477

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.

SUBJECT: JORDANIANS SAY UN ISSUES NOT ON AGENDA FOR BEIRUT 
MINISTERIAL 
 
REF: STATE 94509 
 
Classified By: DCM Gregory L. Berry for reasons 1.5 (B) and (D) 
 
1.  (C)  DCM reviewed ref points May 17 with Ali al-Ayed, 
personal assistant to Foreign Minister Muasher, asking that 
Jordan oppose any move at the May 17-18 Beirut Arab League 
Meeting to call publicly for challenges to Israeli 
credentials in international organizations or support for 
Chapter VII action against Israel in the UNSC.  These 
efforts, DCM argued, run counter to the spirit of the Arab 
peace initiative.  Ayed undertook to pass these points to 
FonMin Muasher. 
 
2.  (C)  Later on May 17, Ayed contacted DCM to say that he 
had reached Muasher before his departure for Beirut.  Ayed 
said the Minister was surprised by the U.S. demarche, since 
he understood the agenda in Beirut to be focused on core 
issues.  He was not aware that the issues we raised were to 
be discussed at all.  That said, he assured us that Jordan 
would work for a moderate outcome if the issues came up.
