A unanimous resolution was passed, which, for the first time, declared the PLO to be the "sole legitimate representative of the Palestinian people". Furthermore, the Arab League resolved that the "oil-rich Arab states ... [provide] multi-annual financial aid to the [states in confrontation with Israel] and the PLO."Sela, Avraham.

The summit shaped the future of the conflict in several ways. First, it forced King Hussein of Jordan to relinquish his claim to be able to speak for the Palestinians and to acknowledge that a future Palestinian state would have to be independent of Jordan. Second, it weakened the position of the United States, whose secretary of state, Henry Kissinger, preferred Hussein over the PLO.Bickerton, Ian J., and Carla L. Klausner.
