Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine on rollercoaster ride to reality
The 2022 Saudi-based Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution (HKOPS) continues its rollercoaster ride from dream to reality – in spite of the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), the Arab League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) refusing to acknowledge that such a solution even exists.
These four organisations amazingly continue to call for the creation of the two-state solution: a Palestinian Arab state between Jordan and Israel for the first time in recorded history.
New York Times columnist – Thomas Friedman – sums up the inevitability of the two-state solution’s demise:
“A week of reporting from Israel and the West Bank has left me feeling that the prospect for a two-state solution has all but vanished. But no one wants to formally declare it dead and buried — because categorically ruling it out would have enormous ramifications. So, diplomats, politicians and liberal Jewish organisations pretend that it still has a faint heartbeat. I do as well. But we all know that the two-state option is not in a hospital. It’s in hospice. Only a miracle cure could save it now.”
HKOPS game-changing initiative calls for the merger of Jordan, Gaza and part of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) into one territorial entity to be governed by Jordan’s current Hashemite rulers – with its capital being located in Amman – not Jerusalem.
HKOPS will recreate – in a to-be-negotiated reduced area – the territorial entity existing between 1950 and 1967 – following Transjordan and Judea and Samaria’s being unified – and renamed Jordan – after the expulsion in 1948 of every Jew living in Judea and Samaria and the December 1948 Jericho Congress. All Arab residents of the newly-merged entity acquired Jordanian citizenship.
HKOPS:
- Trashes 21 years of Saudi Arabian and Arab League policy unsuccessfully pursuing the two-state solution
- Shreds the European Union two-state solution pushed since the 1980 Venice Declaration
- Negates the UN two-state solution contained in Security Council Resolution 2334 dated 23 December 2016.
- Recognizes Jerusalem as the sole undivided capital of Israel
- Allocates Jewish sovereignty in part of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) for the first time in 3500 years.
- Grants citizenship in the newly-created Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine to all Palestinian Arab refugees no matter where they currently live.
Recent meetings of the Arab League and the Executive Committee of the OIC have confirmed their continued support for the terminal two-state solution.
German diplomat Sven Kühn von Burgsdorff – the European Union’s representative in Judea, Samaria and Gaza defiantly declared: “There is no such thing as Area B and C, it’s all Palestine.”
The UN continues its eleven months’ silence on considering HKOPS as an alternative solution to replace its own failed 2016 two-state solution – perpetuating the Arab-Jewish conflict rather than trying to end it.
Yet the following news report on 22 May shows how out of touch these four organisations are:
“Israel and Saudi Arabia have been engaged in negotiations for a potential normalization agreement under Bahraini mediation for the last day, Channel 12 News correspondent Sapir Lipkin reported.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Eli Cohen are involved in the telephone negotiations. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman arrived in Manama in Bahrain and is holding the talks from there, mediated by the Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani.
Bahrain was chosen as a mediator for the negotiations at the request of the Saudis. A source involved in the talks told Channel 12 News that “the negotiations are very complex” and are being conducted under pressure exerted by the Biden Administration.”
RIP: two-state solution.
Welcome: Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution whose successful implementation could end 100 years of conflict between Arabs and Jews.

No David. From your dream to a nightmare for realists. Give it away, for goodness sake. You are an object of ridicule on Arutz Sheva where your articles also appear.
Paul: The ridiculing will probably get worse as Bibi and MBS continue to negotiate towards successfully implementing the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution. My critics (all anonymous) on Arutz Sheva share one thing in common: They prefer to see more Jewish and Arab lives sacrificed or destroyed – rather than share Judea and Samaria in a compromise designed to end 100 years of unresolved conflict. You obviously support those ridiculers – who are nowhere to be seen on JWire.
it’s amazing, anytime you get Washington involved with Israel. It’s never going to be right.especialy now with them. The rescheme in Washington is about them. And nobody else.
