Hussein bin Talal became king of Jordan at the age of 17 in 1952 and served until his death February 7, 1999. It is enough honours for the late king that Jordan became, during his rule, a haven for every Arab who needed a place to live because of either Israeli aggression or demographic pressure inside the Palestinian territories. King Hussein’s biography concentrates the tragedy of the Arab Orient, which is paying the price of not listening to him almost half a century ago. Despite it all, the West Bank and Jerusalem were lost to the Israeli occupiers. While other Arab leaders had only bombastic speeches to offer the Palestinian cause, King Hussein gave his country and his people to the Palestinians. King Hussein lived for his country and in the service of his country and the service of what, until recently, was known as the Arabs’ first cause - the Palestinian cause. The Middle East and the Arab world did not do justice to King Hussein when he was alive but the late king was vindicated after his death. King Abdullah II has continued his father’s project and led the Hashemite kingdom to safer waters despite the new challenges and risks facing his kingdom today. Israel tried hard to push that option but King Hussein squashed it. He saved them at a certain stage when the option of an alternative homeland for the Palestinians was being promoted. Hussein bin Talal saved Jordan from many disasters and saved the Palestinians from themselves. We can only bow in respect to a man who built a modern state without resorting to repressive practices that characterised most rulers in the Arab Mashriq countries from the 1950s until today. At the end of the king’s life, power was transferred smoothly to Hussein’s eldest son, King Abdullah II, highlighting the solidity of Jordanian institutions. Until the end of his days, King Hussein remained true to his ambition of creating a modern Jordanian state. He was a rare breed in our Arab world, which was ruled only by lust for power at any price. It is difficult to let this anniversary pass without remembering this great man who not only laid the foundations for the institutions of the Jordanian state but also believed in the principles of modernity and development.
