UN General Assembly
1993

As we strive to achieve a comprehensive peace, no wound must remain unhealed. Geographically speaking, we live side by side with the Jordanian Kingdom, and what is so obvious geographically must become clear politically. We have already agreed with the Hashemite Kingdom on many complicated issues, and there is no doubt that we can complete the story fully, that we can offer the people on both sides of the river full peace, that the Dead Sea can become a spring of new life and that the old waters of the River Jordan can be a source of prosperity flowing from each side to the other. We hope - as a matter of fact, we are determined - to make peace with Syria, yet we ask the Syrian leadership, if it has chosen peace, why it refuses to meet openly. If Syria is aiming for the Egyptian fruits of peace, it must follow the process that led to them. Both of us have to look ahead and realize that the threats of war are no more than an illusion
