make peace on the middle of a minefield at the border post of Arabah Crossing.

The historic peace treaty ends a 46-year state of war, and Jordan joins Egypt as

the only Arab nation to establish relations with Israel. With US President

Bill Clinton as a witness, Israeli premier you Yitzhak Rabin and his

Jordanian counterpart Abdelsalam al-Majali signed the pact. The agreement

calls for the establishment of diplomatic relations, a peaceful

settlement to conflicts, and comprehensive cooperation. Jordan's King

Hussein calls it a gift to future generations. Minutes before the ceremony

begins, Hezbollah extremists from Lebanon bombard northern Israel, and Palestinians

in the occupied West Bank join a general strike called by the PLO and Hamas to

protest the treaty.
