UN must evaluate Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution

This latest initiative seriously challenges the two-State solution unsuccessfully pursued by UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres and UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland during their respective tenures - and by the UN for the last 19 years: Creating a brand-new Palestinian Arab state between Israel and Jordan for the first time in recorded history

Both Guterres and Wennesland have stubbornly refused to present this Saudi initiative to the Security Council for evaluation since its publication.

Regrettably hubris has prevented them doing so. It is hard to admit that there might be an alternative solution to the one you have been claiming for years is the only solution.

Ending the 100 years-old conflict between Jews and Arabs, rather than perpetuating that conflict by continuing to pursue a decades-old failed solution, should be Guterres' and Wennesland's joint mantra.

Guterres and Wennesland: Relent and recognise that the UN two-State solution is dead that the Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution to replace it needs to be evaluated by the Security Council.

Doing so could change the course of history.
