Bibi-hatred trumps creating Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine

Implementing this solution would result in:

• A freeze on settlement construction becoming ancient history once the existing international border between Jordan and Israel is redrawn – with the overwhelming majority of Israel's current settlements becoming part of Israel.
• The two-state solution - part of Saudi Arabia's foreign policy and the Arab Peace Initiative since 2002 – being trashed.
• The Saudis not giving up on the Palestinians:
  All current Palestinian Arab residents living within the recognized borders of HKOP gain citizenship in that newly-created entity.
  Palestinian Arabs living elsewhere have two choices:
  (i) Returning to live in HKOP and acquire citizenship
  (ii) Becoming citizens of HKOP while also getting full residency rights in their current country of residence equivalent to what an EU citizen has in the European Union outside his or her home country. This would allow those Palestinian Arabs to gain full civil rights as legal foreign residents without impacting the local political or sectarian balance in these countries.

Is Alpher unaware of the existence of this Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution?

Is Haaretz, which has not published one article on this game-changing solution since its publication thirteen months ago, similarly ignorant?

Time Alpher and Haaretz got up to date.

Netanyahu certainly is.

Secret negotiations reportedly being held between Netanyahu and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, mediated by Bahrein, are probably discussing implementing this solution.

Opposing peace with Saudi Arabia because it will strengthen Netanyahu politically is perverse and clearly against Israel's national interest.
