Hussein regarded Arab unity as synonymous with his own kingship. He aspired to have the entire Arabian Peninsula, the region of Syria, and Iraq under his – and his descendants' – rule. After a year of fruitless negotiation, Sir Henry McMahon conveyed the British government's agreement to recognize Arab independence over an area that was much more limited than that to which Hussein had aspired. The Arab revolt, an Anglo-Hashemite plot in its essence, broke out in June 1916. Britain financed the revolt and supplied arms, provisions, direct artillery support, and experts in desert warfare including the soon to be famous T. E. Lawrence. The Hashemites promised more than they were able to deliver, and their ambitious plan collapsed. There were only a small number of Syrian and Iraqi nationalists who joined under the Sharifan banner while others remained loyal to the Ottoman sultan.

After the war, the British devised a "Sharifian Solution" to "[make] straight all the tangle" of their various wartime commitments.[16] This proposed that three sons of Sharif Hussein would be installed as kings of newly created countries across the Middle East.[17]

Abdullah, the second son of Sharif Hussein (leader of the 1916 Great Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire), arrived from Hejaz by train in Ma'an in southern Transjordan on 21 November 1920. His stated aim was fighting the French in Syria, after they had defeated the short-lived Arab Kingdom of Syria during the Battle of Maysalun on 24 July 1920.[1]
 
Transjordan then was in disarray and widely considered to be ungovernable with its dysfunctional local governments.[2] Abdullah spent almost four months with his base in Ma'an, which he left in late February arriving in Amman on 2 March 1921.[3] Following the Cairo Conference and Abdullah's meeting with Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill in Jerusalem, the Emirate of Transjordan was established on 11 April 1921.[4]

Scoop: Trump plans summit in New York with Arab leaders on Gaza war
 
President Trump is planning to meet a select group of Arab and Muslim leaders on Tuesday on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York to discuss ways to end the war in Gaza, two Arab officials with knowledge of the meeting said.
 
Why it matters: The meeting will take place several days before Trump hosts Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on September 29.
 
(...)
 
The leaders of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan and Turkey have been invited to participate, according to the Arab officials.
The White House wants the invited Arab and Muslim countries to take part in a post-war plan for Gaza and even send troops for a stabilization force that will replace the Israeli military, sources say.
The Arab leaders are expected to ask Trump to press Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza and refrain from annexing parts of the West Bank.
The UAE has already made clear to the White House that Israeli annexation of parts of the West Bank could lead to the collapse of the Abraham Accords, which are Trump's key foreign policy achievement from his first presidential term.
Zoom out: The sources said Trump is also expected to hold on the same day a separate meeting with the leaders of several Persian Gulf countries — Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain and Kuwait.
 
A key issue in that meeting would be the concerns of the Gulf countries about the Israeli strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar. It was the first ever Israeli attack on one of the Gulf countries.
Arab officials say the Gulf countries want to get assurances from the Trump administration that such attacks will not happen again.

«Le Hamas n’aura aucun rôle dans le gouvernement, le Hamas et d’autres factions doivent rendre leurs armes à l’Autorité palestinienne», a insisté Mahmoud Abbas, privé de visa par les Etats-Unis pour assister à cette conférence sur la solution à deux Etats au siège de l’ONU à New York.
 
«Nous condamnons également les meurtres et la détention de civils, y compris les actes du Hamas le 7 octobre 2023», a-t-il ajouté, alors qu’Israël accuse depuis près de deux ans les responsables palestiniens de ne pas condamner ces attaques.

"Le 7 octobre 2023 est une attaque d’une sauvagerie qui disqualifie définitivement le Hamas et il était légitime qu’Israël réagisse (...) La réaction a été disproportionnée et on se trouve aujourd’hui devant des crimes contre l’humanité"
