The PLO and Its Role in Jordan
🎯 What You Need to Know: The PLO was a Palestinian organization with the aim of establishing an independent Palestinian state. In the late 1960s and early '70s, the PLO operated heavily within Jordan, often attacking Israel.
🤓 Real-World Example: Imagine you let a friend crash on your couch for a while, but then they start eating your food and acting like they own the place. That's how King Hussein of Jordan felt about the PLO.
King Hussein’s Concerns and Actions
🎯 What You Need to Know: King Hussein supported the Palestinians initially but grew increasingly uncomfortable as they began to act as if they ruled parts of Jordan.
🔥 Turning Point: In September 1970, King Hussein decided "enough was enough" and ordered his army to take control of PLO bases in Jordan.
🤓 Real-World Example: Think about a school principal who initially lets students host an event but then shuts it down when they start breaking rules and causing disruptions.
