  14. Johnston proposal Quotas for Jordan river: 394 million m³ 774 million m³ 45 million m³ Jordan Syria Israel

  15. A quote from Johnston His view on his proposal “I did not go to the Near East carrying a specific plan. I had in my little bag a proposal. This proposal aims at coordinating the development of the Jordan basin. I did not expect a (yes or no) answer to these proposals; to the contrary, I feel that an answer given without a comprehensive study will not be mature.” Eric Johnston , on the objective of his trip to Near East -In a television interview on 1 December 1953

  16. Opposing reactions(Jordan) (Israel) “In absence of such plan,” the Minister added, “Israel would be free to use the water of the rivers which flow in its territories as its own property.”-quoted by the Foreign Minister, Moshe Sharette , in a broadcast on 30 November 1953 in which he expressed Israel’s willingness to sit with her neighbours to agree on a regional water plan. • “utterly refuse consideration of any joint project to utilize the waters of this river (the Jordan) with the enemy Israel.”-quote fromPolitical Committee of the Arab League meeting in Amman on 23 October 1953 It doesn’t benefit Jordan or the Arab refugees, but wants to pressure and influence the Arab countries to share economic benefits with Israel, and eventually urge them to negotiate for peace. Sneaky…. I shall consider Johnston’s proposals. It would foster improved relations with Israel’s Arab neighbours and bring the international financing of water development Ambassador Johnston was able to offer.

  29. Thesis • A conflict over a physical resource that is measureable is relatively simpler to resolve. • The terms are easier to list down and can be divided fairly. • As compared to other conflicts over religion or ideology where there is a clash of differing views. They are contrasting and both sides impute their mindset on the other. Not share Eliminate • This conflict can be resolved by sharing

Disucssion! • http://www.awesomelibrary.org/MiddleEastConflict.html -Reasons for so many conflicts in Middle East (what do you think?) • What do you think is the reason for Israel to return the captured Sinai desert to Egypt? -Appeasement? -Exhibiting national interest?
