The 1951 Assassination of King Abdullah I and the Lost Peace
Om avsnittet
On July 20, 1951, King Abdullah I of Jordan was assassinated at the Al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem—a moment that reshaped the Palestinian struggle. This episode explores Abdullah's secret negotiations with Israel, his vision for a Greater Syria, the All-Palestine Government in Gaza, and the role of the Arab Legion. We examine the motives of his assassin, Mustafa Shukri Uthman, and the aftermath that derailed any chance of a separate peace. Featuring insights from the 1949 Rhodes Armistice talks and the 1950 Jordanian annexation of the West Bank, we uncover how Abdullah's death cemented the region's trajectory toward conflict. Tune in for a deep dive into a pivotal yet often overlooked turning point.
