Then the treaty, a direct outcome of the historic 1991 Peace Conference and the 1993 Oslo accord, was very promising and everyone talked about the coming fruits of peace.

However, former Jordanian Foreign Minister Dr Marwan who become the Kingdom's first ambassador to Israel, said we can't talk about real peace without a solution to the Palestinian question.

October 26 marks 28 years since Jordan and Israel became peace treaty partners.
