Palestine: integrating Jordan's two banks could reap big rewards

By David Singer - posted Wednesday, 31 October 2012


...both sides, Arab and Israeli, no longer speak of a political solution to the Palestinian problem.

The vacuum existing in 1948 has returned - and once again Jordan is the party that can fill it by opening negotiations with Israel to end the the Jewish-Arab conflict by reunifying the two banks of the Jordan River - taking into account the vastly changed circumstances to those existing 64 years ago. The dividends could be immense including:

  1. The return to Jordan of a very substantial part of the West Bank lost by it in the Six Day War
  2. No residents of the West Bank - either Jew or Arab - having to move from his present home
  3. The restoration of Jordanian citizenship to the West Bank Arab population
  4. The resolution of the competing claims by both Jews and Arabs to sovereignty in the West Bank
  5. Placing a political solution to the Palestinian problem in the hands of the Arabs
