Overview
The summit came in the aftermath of the bloody events of the Jordanian Civil War, and the clashes between the Palestine Liberation Organization and King Hussein of Jordan. Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser succeeded in getting both King Hussein of Jordan and Yasser Arafat, the chairman of the PLO, to end the bloody battle between Jordanians and the Palestinian fedayeen. The summit concluded its work on September 28, hours before Nasser died. The summit was boycotted by Iraq, Syria, Algeria and Morocco.
