The Jericho Conference (Arabic: مؤتمر أريحا) was held in December 1948 to decide the future of the portion of Palestine that was held by Jordan at the end of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, led by Sheikh Muhammad Ali Ja'abari.[1] Pro-Jordanian personalities called for the annexation of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, to Jordan.[2]
