The main goal of this paper is to contend the Israeli point of view and other western thinkers about the motives of late King Hussein’s decision to participate in the 1967 war, and labeling that decision as a serious blunder. This was ended by the occupation of the West Bank of Jordan (Palestine), and it was taken into consideration that Israelis had planned for the occupation of the West Bank of Jordan. To refute these assumptions, levels of analysis method and references were utilized from both sides to confirm the paper’s assumption. The importance of this paper stems from using the theory of realism. This paper can prove that Israel waited for this war to occur and that Jordan participation was inevitable due to the international system condition at that moment of history.
Keywords: Jordan, controversial participation, 1967 war, West Bank.
