Abdullah & Bibi keep moving on Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine

Jordan’s King Abdullah and Israel’s Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu continue their march forward to implementing the Saudi-based Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine Solution (Saudi Solution)--begun with their surprise meeting on January 24, 2023 clarifying that the Hashemite rulers of the newly--created entity of Jordan, Gaza and part of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) would also have custody of the Islamic Holy sites in Jerusalem.

Custodianship had not been specifically determined under the Saudi Solution and its subsequent revision.

Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine to control Jerusalem holy sites

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's surprise visit to see King Abdullah in Amman last week was made to assure Abdullah that custodianship of the Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem would be vested in the newly-created entity to be called the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine--should the merger of Jordan, Gaza and part of Judea and Samaria be implemented (Saudi Solution). Jordan is the custodian of the Islamic holy sites under the 1994 Israel-Jordan Peace treaty. King Abdullah needed to know that implementation of the Saudi Solution would result in the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine becoming the successor custodian--not Saudi Arabia. 

UN continues obscene silence on Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine

My latest article revealing that Jordan, the Palestine Liberation Organisation and Hamas have seemingly agreed to the creation of the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine--trashing the failed two-State solution proposed by the UN since 2016--has brought no response from UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres. On 10 January I forwarded my article to Stephane Dujarric--Guterres' spokesperson--asking him:

"For how much longer can the Secretary-General refuse to acknowledge even the existence of this alternative solution to the UN's failed two-state solution?"

Jordan PLO & Hamas revise Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine Plan

The Saudi-based Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine plan (Saudi Plan) --initially published in Al Arabiya News on 8 June 2022 --has been revised in a later document containing amendments that appear to have been made at the request of and agreed to by Jordan, the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and Hamas--the three parties most affected if the Saudi Plan is successfully implemented. The revised version has not been published in Al Arabiya News or on any other news site. It is written in Arabic--but an English translation--a copy of which is in the writer’s possession --is very informative in clarifying certain parts of the original version which were apparently vague or unacceptable to Jordan, the PLO and Hamas.

Under the radar negotiations on Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine

Israel and Saudi Arabia have reportedly begun US-brokered peace negotiations that will be conducted far away from the media and public gaze.  Israel’s Prime Minister Netanyahu made that perfectly clear in his 50 minute interview on Saudi Government-controlled Al Arabiya TV on 15 December:

Security Council should adopt Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine

The United Nations Security Council needs to urgently consider adopting  the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution - following the warning delivered on December 19th by Tor Wennesland – UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Process. Addressing the Security Council Wennesland advised:

Bibi forced to move early on Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine plan

Bibi Netanyahu's time for confirmation as Israel's next Prime Minister runs out on December 21st after six weeks of the tail wagging the dog - parties with few Knesset members using their small but strategic numbers to try to extract concessions from Netanyahu for their support - that Netanyahu has obviously been resisting. Faced with this looming reality--Netanyahu has been forced to move early on his election promise made to Israeli voters on October 22nd:

Israel set to uncork Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine genie at UN

Israel is readying to uncork the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine genie at the United Nations--ending UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Process Torr Wennesland’s’ efforts to keep the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine Solution (Saudi Solution) from being discussed as a replacement for the failed UN 20 years-old two state solution. The Saudi Solution was published on 8 June 2022 in the Saudi Government-controlled Al Arabiya News. Its author--Ali Shihabi--advises Saudi Arabia’s King-designate, Crown Prince and Prime Minister--Mohammed Bin Salman--on the development of Neom--a new $500 billion mega city the size of Israel

NYT needs to end silence on Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine 

The visit to Hebron this week by New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman and Kathleen Kingsbury, The New York Times' Opinion Editor could see the NYT finally breaking its silence on the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine proposal published in the Saudi Arabian government-controlled Al Arabiya News on June 8, 2022. This new plan is certainly newsworthy:--The merger of Jordan, Gaza and part of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) into one territorial entity to be named The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine--to be governed by the Hashemite dynasty that has ruled Jordan for the last 100 years and will have its capital located in Amman – not Jerusalem (Saudi Plan).

RIP UN two-State solution, Hello Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine

singer112822.jpg" alt="RIP UN two-State solution, Hello Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine" class="smallpix">The United Nations  two-State solution--first proposed on November29, 1947--needs to be finally buried and replaced with the Saudi peace solution proposed on June 8, 2022. The 1947 UN solution: Creating one Jewish State and one Arab state between the River Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea (UN two-State solution)--was aimed at ending the Arab-Jewish conflict in Western Palestine which had then been raging for the previous 50 years.

Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine key to ending Jew-bashing at UN

The United Nations favourite sport--Jew bashing--was on full display this past week at the 77^th Session of the United Nations Fourth Committee (Special Political and Decolonization)--which approved six draft resolutions--all highly critical of Israel. One of these draft resolutions--approved by 98 voting in favour to 17 against, with 52 abstentions--was titled "Israeli practices affecting the human rights of the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem" (document A/C.4/77/L.12/Rev.1).

MBS & King Abdullah keep Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine alive

Non-participation by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and Prime Minister – Mohammad Bin Salman (MBS)  – and Jordan’s King Abdullah at the 31^st Summit of the Arab League held in Algiers on 1 and 2 November – even via Zoom  - was highly significant – signalling that the Saudi-based plan to merge  Jordan, Gaza and part of the West Bank into one territorial entity to be called the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine (HKoP solution) still remains a viable solution to replace the failed 20 years-old two-state solution proposed by the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative (API) - endorsed yet again in Algiers.

Netanyahu victory paves way for Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine

Bibi Netanyahu’s triumphal return as Israel’s next Prime Minister affords him the opportunity to fulfil one of his major election promises: Ending the 100-years old unresolved Arab-Jewish conflict. It has been a long and arduous road for Netanyahu to travel since he told the United Nations on December 11, 1984:

Netanyahu gives nod to Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution

Israel's Leader of the Opposition Benjamin Netanyahu has finally broken his silence - giving his nod of approval to adopting the Saudi-proposed Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution (Saudi Solution) :

"I think the big prize is peace with Saudi Arabia, which I intend to achieve if I go back into office… The rise of Israeli power facilitated the Abraham Accords, and the continual nurturing of Israeli power will also nurture a broader peace with Saudi Arabia and nearly all of the rest of the Arab world. I intend to bring the Arab-Israeli conflict to a close."

Roth confounds UN, USA & Australia: Two-State solution 'is gone'

Kenneth Roth – recently retired Executive Director of Human Rights Watch – has undermined the continuation of the policy espoused by the UN, USA and Australia for the last 20 years supporting the the creation of a new Palestinian Arab State between Israel and Jordan for the first time in recorded history (two-state solution). Addressing a recent discussion hosted by the Washington-based think-tank - Arab Center - Roth declared:

"The two-state solution is great but it's gone”

Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine sinks UN failed two-state solution

UK Labour Friends of Israel (UKLFI) has sunk any possibility of a new Palestinian Arab state being created between Israel and Jordan - unsuccessfully promoted by the United Nations for the last 29 years--detailing 30 steps considered necessary before negotiations can be resumed. These steps are:

Lapid rejects Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution

Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid has finally emerged from the cocoon of silence that has enveloped all current 120 Knesset members--choosing to reject a solution emanating from Saudi Arabia on 8 June calling for the merger of Jordan, Gaza and part of the West Bank into one territorial entity to be called the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine (Saudi Solution). Lapid has opted instead to continue his longstanding support for the United Nations 29 years-old failed solution calling for the creation of a new State of Palestine between Israel and Jordan for the first time in recorded history (United Nations Solution)

Jordan-PLO-Hamas-UN-EU coy on Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine

Jordan, Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO), Hamas, United Nations (UN) and the European Union (EU) now have to choose between two very different two-state solutions to end the 100 years old Arab-Jewish conflict.

UN must evaluate Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution

The General Debate of the 77th Session of the United Nations General Assembly to be held from 20 to 26 September will not be hearing the words “Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine” mentioned even once by the Heads of State and Government meeting at the UN Headquarters for their annual talkfest to discuss world issues.  All these high-powered speakers will continue to bury any discussion of the peace proposal emanating from Saudi Arabia and published in Al-Arabiya News on 8 June 2022 calling for:

Biden & Blinken silent on Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine

In the Arab-Israel conflict where every word is dissected and analysed to see whether there could be any change of policy - the use of the words “a two state solution” instead of “the President’s two-state solution” could well signal President Biden’s abandonment of his own two-state solution – Israel and Palestine - in favour of a Saudi two-state solution – Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine. Such speculation has arisen following this State Department Media Note issued on 4 September:

“The Assistant Secretary will travel to Israel and the West Bank September 1-3 to meet with Israeli and Palestinian officials to discuss a range of priorities, including the ... Administration’s continued support for a two-state solution.
