NYT ignores Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution at its peril

By David Singer - posted Thursday, 21 September 2023

Three times Pulitzer Prize-winner Thomas Friedman - NYT's foreign affairs Op-Ed columnist - who joined NYT in 1981:

Was personally involved in the Arab Peace Initiative's creation - as he disclosed in NYT on 17 February 2002.
Refuses to consider HKOPS as a replacement solution

Friedman is still advising his lunch-time buddy President Biden to promote the failed Arab Peace Initiative, even though Friedman admitted that Initiative was "in hospice" on 15 December 2022.

Ignoring HKOPS and acting on Friedman's urging could see Biden's current effort to broker a historic agreement to normalize Israel-Saudi relations failing.

NYT's reputation and Friedman's credibility have both become hopelessly compromised.
