Jordanian king

King Hussein of Jordan (1935–1999) was the King of Jordan (1952–1999). He navigated Cold War geopolitics, Arab-Israeli wars, and the Palestinian question across nearly five decades of rule. He lost the West Bank to Israel in 1967, expelled the PLO in Black September 1970, and signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1994. He was respected internationally as a pragmatic moderate and survived numerous assassination attempts.
