About
1994 peace treaty between Israel and Jordan, signed 26 October 1994 at Wadi Araba. In addition to establishing peace between the two countries, the treaty also settled land and water disputes, provided for broad cooperation in tourism and trade, and obligated both countries to prevent their territory being used as a staging ground for military strikes by a third country. Jordan was the second Arab country, after Egypt, to sign a peace accord with Israel.
