| Description | Folder of presscuttings and telex reports relating to Iraq's relations with Israel, many of them focussing on Saddam Hussein's threats in 1990 to launch an offensive against Israel. This is discussed in various articles, including a personal interview Saddam gave to the Wall Street Journal (published 28 June 1990), and there are also cuttings reporting on the context of Iraq's hostility to Israel within the wider picture of its relation with Jordan and Palestine, including reports on Yasser Arafat's visits, the activities of Abul Abbas and the Abu Nidal Group, changes in PLO allegiance following Iraq's invasion of Kuwait, and the text of a joint statement by Iraq and Jordan on the Gulf and Palestine (October 1990.) |
