Despite a conditionally pro-Iraqi stance in the Gulf Crisis (since August 2, 1990) and in the Second Gulf War (January – February 1991), Husain II tried to mediate shortly before the war began. A joint Jordanian-Palestinian delegation took part in the Madrid Middle East Conference (from October 31, 1991). On September 14, 1993, Jordan and Israel decided on a “peace agenda”. King Husain IIProhibited Hamas from any further activity in Jordanian territory (April 16, 1994). On July 25, 1994, Jordan and Israel ended the state of war that had persisted since 1948, signed an agreement on issues of border and water use on October 17, 1994 and signed a peace treaty on October 26, 1994. This made Jordan – after Egypt – the second Arab state to make peace with Israel. On January 26, 1995, Husain II and Arafat (for the Palestinian Authority) signed a cooperation agreement; In 1996 relations with Saudi Arabia and Kuwait (impaired since the 2nd Gulf War) normalized.
