Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine to end Mandate for Palestine saga

By David Singer - posted Tuesday, 2 August 2022

Successful negotiations between Israel and Jordan to implement Shihabi's plan would result in:

The merger of Mandate territory located East and West of the Jordan River into one Arab State and
the recognition of a Jewish State in the remaining Mandate territory West of the Jordan River

The last chapter of the Mandate saga begun on 24 July 1922 is on the diplomatic horizon.
