The Treaty of Peace between the State of Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, signed in 1994 and read here from the Avalon Project's hosted text at Yale Law School, is the primary diplomatic instrument itself, the actual treaty text the two governments negotiated and signed, including its provisions on borders, water rights and, of specific religious significance, arrangements recognizing Jordan's special role regarding Muslim holy sites in Jerusalem. Its strength is that the Avalon Project hosts primary legal and diplomatic documents directly, letting a reader check the treaty's own language rather than a paraphrase of it. Its limit is that the treaty text states what was agreed, not the negotiation history or the subsequent political disputes over how specific provisions, particularly the Jerusalem holy sites language, have actually been interpreted and applied since, which needs a historical or current affairs source alongside the treaty text itself.
Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier1
The Treaty of Peace between the State of Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, read here from Yale Law School's Avalon Project, a long-established academic archive of primary diplomatic and legal texts, is the actual 1994 treaty text, treated at the top tier as direct primary legal text. NotesThe State of Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan's own 1994 peace treaty text, as published by the Avalon Project at Yale Law School; the diplomatic instrument itself, not a scholarly history of the negotiations that produced it.
