Jordan jumps on Trump bandwagon leaving PLO way behind

• Renamed "Judea and Samaria" the "West Bank" - after Transjordan and Judea and Samaria had been unified into one territorial entity in 1950 and named "Jordan"
• Granted Jordanian citizenship to the West Bank Arab population from 1950 until it ceded legal and administrative control to the PLO in 1988.
• Conferred citizenship on 70% of Jordan's population hailing from the remaining 22% of former Palestine

Sadi argued for Jordan's inclusion in Trump's plan in an earlier Jordan Times article dated 12 August:

… the unity of the West Bank with the East Bank was officially and constitutionally adopted on 24 of April 1950. No one disputes this fact. The Constitution of the country at the time was the 1952 Constitution, which stipulated in no uncertain terms that no part of the Kingdom shall be ceded, period. This provision makes the 1988 decision to cut off all legal and administrative relations between the two banks stopping short of ceding the West Bank to any side whatsoever. Any other interpretation of the 1988 political decision is absolutely untenable constitutionally.

The Trump bandwagon is swinging into top gear – with Jordan in the box seat and the PLO left flailing way behind.
