Two points of interest are the degree of complicity
of the Ameer of Transjordan Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan and of the King of Egypt.
As regards the first,the circumstantial evidence both frouji
secret and other sources certainly strongly points to a
degree of interest in,and a close connection with, the
activities of Ibn Rifada and his followers, for which it
is difficult to account satisfactorily. The hostility
of the flteefirini family to Ibn Saud is a byword. The
ex-King Ali and the Ameer Abdullah have consistently
expressed this hostility even more strongly than
and it has never been possible to persuade the Ameer to
recognise Ibn Saud as King of the Hejaz. We have a
serious responsibility in Transjordan Used in three contexts: the geographical region to the east of the River Jordan (literally ‘across the River Jordan’); a British protectorate (1921-46); an independent political entity (1946-49) now known as Jordan ,for the Ameer is
