Abdullah I of Jordan: what Wikipedia removed
The ruler of Transjordan and then Jordan from 1921 until his assassination in 1951. The 2005 opening stated “He would actually have signed a separate peace agreement with Israel, but for the Arab League’s militant opposition.” That sentence is gone from the opening today; the word survives once elsewhere in the article. A reader today learns his lineage and offices, and not that he was reportedly prepared to sign a separate peace with Israel before the Arab League’s opposition stopped it.
The word “militant” appeared 1 times in this article’s opening at its peak, in 2005. Today the opening carries none; the body carries 1. Checked against the full current article on 2026-08-01.
