UN and Biden continue to ignore Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine

By David Singer - posted Friday, 29 December 2023


Amazingly the Biden-Harris administration's abstention on Resolution 2720 has repeated the historic miscalculation made by the Obama-Biden administration when it abstained on Resolution 2334 – allowing that Resolution to pass.

Rather than vetoing Resolution 2720 - Biden's abstention has given the Security Council the cover to continue beating Israel into accepting the failed two-state solution envisioned in Resolution 2334 – which has become ancient history after seven years of going nowhere.

Significantly - an alternative solution shredding Resolution 2334 burst on to the international scene on 8 June 2022 – authored by Ali Shihabi – an advisor to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman – calling for the merger of Jordan, Gaza and part of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) into one territorial entity to be governed by Jordan's current Hashemite rulers: The Hashemite Kingdom of Palestine solution (HKOPS)

HKOPS has been totally ignored by both the UN and serial-abstainer President Biden in the eighteen months since its publication.

Both the UN and Biden must share some responsibility for what might have been avoided on October 7 - had they considered implementing's HKOPS as an alternative solution to replace that laid out in Resolution 2334.

Gaza has flown the HKOPS coop – but Jordan and part of Judea and Samaria (West Bank) can still be merged - with citizenship and voluntary resettlement there being offered to the beleaguered Gazans.

The UN and Biden need to be badgered and hounded by the media to explain why they continue to refuse to consider HKOPS – ex Gaza - to replace their jointly-held failed visions contained in Resolutions 2334 and 2720.

The Jewish people are not going to commit national suicide for nice obituaries expressed in a unanimous Security Council resolution addressed by a sombre President Biden.
